I recently installed syslog-ng successfully on a FC3-SELinux enabled box. 
Everything is fine except that:

# service syslog-ng status

syslog-ng dead but subsys locked

# ls --context /var/lock/subsys/syslog-ng

-rw------- root root root:object_r:var_lock_t syslog-ng

The root:object_r:var_lock_t should have been user_u:object_r:var_lock_t, and 
that is what is causing syslog-ng daemon to die. Also, the file permissions 
generally are 666.

One easy way is to switch off SELinux for syslog-ng, but is there a better 
way?? Why are the permissions wrong??

Sorry, I had to re-post this, after I first posted at http://lug-delhi.org, the 
on line web front end to the mailing list. The post did not appear more than 2 
hours later, neither on the forum nor on the mailing list. Thought it to be 
appropirate to risk a re-post.
