Created an attachment (id=351367) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=351367) [details] output of the removal and install of the rsyslog case

Yes, your attachments shows, that it works correctly. You've removed the active service and it disabled itself (SYSLOG_DAMON=""); exactly as requested. Then you've installed one and it took over. In this case it was the same and it set SYSLOG_DAEMON=rsyslogd again. When you install a syslog daemon additionally, e.g. you have SYSLOG_DAEMON set to syslog-ng, rsyslog will not take over: + source etc/sysconfig/syslog ++ KERNEL_LOGLEVEL=1 ++ SYSLOGD_PARAMS= ++ KLOGD_PARAMS=-x ++ SYSLOG_DAEMON=syslog-ng ++ RSYSLOGD_COMPAT_VERSION= ++ RSYSLOGD_PARAMS= ++ SYSLOG_NG_PARAMS= ++ RSYSLOGD_NATIVE_VERSION=4 + replace_syslog=no + test syslog-ng '!=' rsyslogd + test -z syslog-ng + test '!' -x sbin/syslog-ng + test no = yes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The sed call is not executed and SYSLOG_DAEMON is still syslog-ng. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
