I do not know, what parameters that are, but as they are the same on the other machine I do not think that they are causing the problem. I noticed the failure while enabling remote logging to another server. Even that does not work. So maybe the error is somewhere deeper in the system? Would it help to reinstall syslog-package? Does the sysklogd-rpm contain both dameons (syslog and klogd)?
