No, it is not irrelevant, your count is. Your search found things like httpd, which provides /var/log/httpd, and writes its logs there. The proposed syslog removal has no effect on httpd, because it doesn't use syslog for logging by default. The same is true of all the other matches you counted. The proposed change will have ZERO effect on anything that writes directly to /var/log (other than rsyslog itself). -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
