Thanks for this post!
We can confirm this also works with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, which also installs syslog-ng by default.
We recently expanded a single-server SLES10 ZCS install to a multi-server setup, and this post is what got our aggregated syslog server working for us.
One suggestion if I may... if you edit /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf by hand, SuSEconfig scripts won't modify it at all going forward. Possibly it is safer (or not) to update /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.in and then let SuSEconfig regenerate /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf each time SuSEconfig is run.
Hope that helps,
Mark
