other syslogd
I'm trying to understand this. When rsyslogd starts, it kills syslogd? I killed syslogd manually and now just have rsyslogd running and it seems to be working just fine.

Hi Dennis,

no, rsyslogd does *NOT* at all interfer with standard syslogd. The only
relationship is the syslog listen port (514). As only one process can
listen on it, rsyslogd startup will fail when syslogd runs and vice
versa. The idea is that you disable stock syslogd before you start
rsyslogd.
