Hi list, I got the below trace during boot (got it from dmesg). I don't know
if it's anything serious, just thought I'd pass it on.

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.

Thank you! I'll update my syslog-ng if the error annoys me enough.
