            Bug ID: 228565
           Summary: sysutils/syslog-ng fails to start when run as non-root
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start

Starting syslog_ng.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng: WARNING: failed to start syslog_ng



syslog-ng314 on FreeBSD 11.1 amd64, built from 2018Q2 ports-tree cut.

With syslog-ng.conf.dist as syslog-ng.conf configfile.

One has to create a subdirectory in /var/run to house the files for ctl and
persist.

syslogd_enable="NO"
syslog_ng_enable="YES"
syslog_ng_config="-u daemon -c /var/run/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.ctl -R
/var/run/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.persist-"
syslog_ng_pid="/var/run/syslog.pid"


I assume I'd have to switch that file to the subdirectory, too - but how do I
do that?


Is running it as non-root actually supported?
