This has nothing to do with resmgr. 

The problem is in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf. There is a perm(-1) close

I just checked the above file in Alpha 5 and didn't find "null".
So is this a new problem in Alpha 6?

I should read the screen before sending  - It did find /dev/null and no 
problem for a user to write to it.

I have added your reply to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294146

If this is already in another bug (I searched), then I'll close this one.
