Darryl Gregorash already had me switch the SYSLOG_DAEMON to syslog-ng and
that seemed to fix the problem.  However, I hadn't uninstalled syslogd.  I
just did that.  Just switching the daemon to syslog-ng fixed the messages
file problem, but if syslog-ng supplants syslogd then it will now be out of
the way so as to not possibly cause problems down the road.
