Hi

I'm having an issue starting up remote_syslog on an ubuntu 11.10 server. I can start it successfully with any normal user from the command line, but when i try to do this with the root user, the remote_syslog process seems to start up but after checking it with ps -ef | grep remote_syslog the process doesnt show up. It dies after starting.
What i have noticed is that if i run it as root locally from a graphical console, it works fine.
The version of remote_syslog is 1.6.0

Thanks
