There seem to be a number of problems connected with the installation the most significant of which is that the messages file is no longer rotating.

The /etc/logadm.conf file has been changed to reflect syslog-ng rather than syslog to no avail.

While attempting to diagnose the problem it was noticed that there are two syslog-ng processes running (only the second of which is in the pid file). Also a kill -HUP on either process seems to have no effect at all.

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this ?

You would be better off putting syslog-ng under SMF control. Then all you would need to do is use the refresh/restart command.

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
