All four setfacl calls try to add the SYSTEM user to file/directory ACLs. If that doesn't work, the SYSTEM user doesn't exist in your /etc/passwd file, apparently. If so, your /etc/passwd is broken. You should fix it by rerunning mkpasswd. > I then modified syslog-ng.conf to change root group to Administrators as I don't > have a root group in /etc/groups. This means your installation isn't ok. The root group is added to /etc/mkgroup by one of the generic postinstall scripts after running setup.exe. The base-passwd package, which is part of the Base category does that for you. > When I start syslog-ng daemon via cp/services, it starts then immediately stops. > The logfile states > > Error binding socket; addr='AF_UNIX(/dev/log)', error='Bad file descriptor (9)' > Error initializing source driver; source='applications' > > Is there anything I can do to fix this ? Fix what I have written above and then rerun the syslog-ng-config script. Afterwards, make sure the /dev directory exists and is set to rwx for SYSTEM (getfacl /dev should show and entry "group:SYSTEM:rwx" or "user:SYSTEM:rwx"). Also make sure that a /dev/log file doesn't exist before starting syslog-ng.
