I installed rsyslog to check it out and it popped up the following message:
Message from rsyslog-8.2104.0: -- To start using rsyslogd(8), stop syslogd(8) if it's running and add the following lines to rc.conf(5): syslogd_enable="NO" rsyslogd_enable="YES" It's recommended to copy syslog.conf(5) to /usr/local/etc/rsyslog.conf and edit it there. Otherwise add this: rsyslogd_config="/etc/syslog.conf" Add the following (3) lines to the beginning of the config file, for basic functionality: module(load="immark") # provides --MARK-- message capability module(load="imuxsock") # provides support for local system logging module(load="imklog") # kernel logging newsyslog(8) has the path of syslogd's pid file hardcoded. To make it work seamlessly with rsyslog, add this: rsyslogd_pidfile="/var/run/syslog.pid" Is syslog not already a logger? Is it not adequate and rsyslog more capable?
