Syslog-ng and connections exceeded error

Couple of days ago I updated my home Gentoo box and after that syslog-ng was too full of connections. As always the remedy was near.

If you have app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.4 and get errors like

syslog-ng[8827]: Number of allowed concurrent connections exceeded; num=’10’, max=’10’

to the syslog then read this helpfull topic from Gentoo forums.

There was also note in Changelog:

2.0.4:
Mon, 14 May 2007 11:47:48 +0200

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* This version of syslog-ng fixes a bug in enforcing the max-connections() limit for various stream-like sources (unix-stream and tcp). Previously this limit was not enforced, thus production environments may use an inadequate value. Validate your max-connection() settings before upgrading and check your logs for rejected connections.

In short, just change one line in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf to match with:
source src { unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(20)); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
