Which version is in 10.2? Go to the syslog-ng homepage, current version
is 2.0.

I'm not sure which features might be missing, syslog-ng doesn't encrypt
or compress a log file. I suppose encryption would be important for any
separate log file for facility authpriv. Does syslogd support file
encryption?
