Somehow this does not work for me on Lucid LTS. I do have rsyslog

do have lucid proposed checked.) The upstart script '/etc/init/rsyslog.conf'
runs 'exec rsyslogd -c4' as last line nevertheless without checking

Thanks for your answers, Simon and Clint! Obviously, '/etc/init/rsyslog.conf'
has not been updated as it is missing the 'script'-section. I had a fresh
install of Lucid and turned on backports after installation which was several
weeks ago. From the 'dpkg'-log I see that 'syslogd' was upgraded
Oh no, I just had my that Oh no!-moment of today! Please ignore all my above
postings because I had got mixed up between my local machine and the remote
server. So I considered the wrong machine. I am terribly sorry for that! (Damn
virtual server zoo!)
Thanks for your consideration
@Clint
/etc/default/rsyslog :
# Options for rsyslogd
# -m 0 disables 'MARK' messages (deprecated, only used in compat mode 3)
# -r enables logging from remote machines (deprecated, only used in compat mode
3)
# -x disables DNS lookups on messages received with -r
# -c compatibility mode
# See
So the default file is effectively sourced but rsyslogd does not listen
on UDP 514 even when RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS=-c2 -r.
To bind it to that port I had to uncomment the following in
/etc/rsyslogd.conf :
$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun 514
And I left the default option RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS=-c4.

man 8 rsyslogd does not reference -r so that might explain it. When
using other options like RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS=-c4 -4 to bind on IPv4 only
all works as documented.

* debian/rsyslog.upstart:
- Patch the upstart job to source /etc/default/rsyslog as the old init
script used to. (LP: #570103)

Accepted rsyslog into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

It works for me, now the /etc/default/rsyslog is used to run the deamon.
Thanks:)

Apparently Launchpad didn't notice the second upload.
Instead of removing /etc/default/rsyslog the init script has now been updated
to use /etc/default/rsyslog.
This one should probably be backported to at least Lucid.
rsyslog (4.6.4-2ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low

SRU for lucid (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates)
1. Impact :
Changes in /etc/default/rsyslog aren't honored by the upstart job.
2. Fix in development version :
The fix is a simple modification in the upstart job to source the default file.
It was fixed in natty with package version

I agree, just wasted quite a bit of time editing /etc/default/rsyslog,
restarting only to find that the changes had no effect. If the file
cannot be deleted then a warning should be placed in there for the
Upstart ignoramuses out there (such as myself up until a few minutes
ago).
