The capability is still there; it's just overridden by the syslog startup script. If you remove the command="/usr/sbin/${name}" line from /etc/rc.d/syslogd, then setting syslogd_program will work again. There's already a default syslogd_program="/usr/sbin/syslogd" line in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, so hardcoding it in the startup script was unnecessary. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
