Further to this, here's the relevant bits from one of my syslog-ng
files. A word of note: the devices at /vservers/.devs/<name>/dev are
bind mounted into the vserver by another part of the startup... you
could change them safely to /vservsers/<name>/dev/log. This whole
configuration is generated with a script. You can ignore the mysql bits
if you're not doing this, naturally.
Cheers,
Liam
