Xiang,

That version won't work with syslog-ng(8).

If you know how, then I would appropriately modify the syslog-ng(8) 
configuration-file to have it log messages from "local0" to the LDM log file.

You will also have to change the value of the SYSLOG_PIDFILE macro in the file 
"src/config.h" to "/var/run/syslog-ng.pid" and rebuild the hupsyslog(1) utility:

    cd hupsyslog
    make install
    cd ..
    su
    make root-actions
