If somebody still remembers (Oden?) we spoke about transition to syslog-ng. I am using it for at least a year now without any apparent ill effects; the only open question was klogd Oops decoding and most responses I got from LKML indicated that klogd is obsolete; now-a-days we have internal symbol decoding in both 2.4 (mdk extra) and 2.6 (built in by default) so it is not a problem anymore.
The transition is not as easy, configuration file is not compatible so any tool messing with it must be updated. Immediately I can think about msec and MNF (it has options for logging configuration); webmin is likely to be affected too. Anything else? so is it worth it? If yes it must be done as soon as possible to leave enough time for testing. -andrey
