Package: syslog-ng
Version: 2.0.9-4.1
Since i upgraded my syslog-ng service version 2.0.0-1etch1 to 2.0.9-4.1
(Lenny), my log refer to each reload of the service, error messages under the
form "syslog-ng[]: Internal error, duplicate configuration elements refer to
the same persistent config; name='affile_dd_writers(/var/log/hosts/$HOST.log)'".
I can not find the source of the error in my conf, especially since I have not
changed anything in it. Conf tests with "syslog-ng-sv" do not return any
error and i searched in the doc of Syslog-NG (balabit.com), with google and
various other forums. This same behavior occurs on each of my servers (x3)
using syslog-ng.
Do you have an idea or it may come ? your help will be very useful.
I follow to you the conf syslog-ng (syslog-ng.conf) one of my servers.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 5.0, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 and libc6 2.7-18.

# attempts at reproducing default syslog behavior
# the standard syslog levels are (in descending order of priority):
# emerg alert crit err warning notice info debug
# the aliases "error", "panic", and "warn" are deprecated
# the "none" priority found in the original syslogd configuration is
# only used in internal messages created by syslogd
