Hello,


I was setting up a central logserver this afternoon and some of the

functionality I need wasn't in the stock syslogd(8), so I chose to use

syslog-ng.


I noticed that you cannot specify syslogd=NO or syslogd_flags=NO to

disable it (in rc.conf.local), and I was mostly curious why.


I'm sure it has something to do with the gap between when things start

up and may need to log vs. when the local startup happens -- if that's

true, what is the suggested way around that?


Originally I thought to simply keep syslogd enabled, but syslog-ng

will not be able to start in that case.


Is my best option to kill syslogd from rc.local or manually edit /etc/rc?


Thanks for any suggestions.


Kian
