No, nothing serious, just a warning about syslog-ng using a deprecated
syslog access method.

According to

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ce6ada35bdf7
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ee24aebffb75

syslog-ng is using CAP_SYS_ADMIN to access syslog, although it should
use CAP_SYSLOG now.
