Hi Brian,
there is no syslog init in Kamikaze. This script comes from X-Wrt.
If you want to get information about its history, have a look at
the forum message http://forum.x-wrt.org/index.php/topic,368.0.html.
The script would work if it would run after the boot init. But we
do not want to miss all events between rcS and the syslog init (our
users are encouraged to kick out the *logd initialization in the boot
script). Therefore you have two instances of *logd.
It worked in 7.09 because we have supplied fake binaries (thanks
to the wrong PATH setting in busybox) to prevent it running from
the boot script.
The boot init needs a substantial modification, the best would
be splitting it into several smaller scripts for a particular task.
Best regards,
Lubos
