[Buildroot] [PATCH 8/8] syslog-ng: add logging configuration file

Carlos Santos casantos at datacom.com.br
Mon Jul 9 03:31:34 UTC 2018


Provide a template to help users to customize syslog-ng without editting
the startup script. Mostly warn about options that must not be used.

This file is also useful as an example for init script authors.
