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?
