My central logging is no longer taking getting log messages over the LAN
from my OpenSuse workstations.

When I checked the syslog-ng config files on them in case a zypper up
had changed things I found them unchanged but on inspection found
syslog-ng wasn't running.

Instead rsyslog was running.

How did this come about?
I've made no explicit changes, so it must have been as a result of of a
'zypper up' or 'zypper dup'.

What ho?  I'd like to reverse this.
Its this supposed to be some setting in /etc/sysconfig/syslog that I
haven't noticed before?  Of course

  #
  SYSLOG_DAEMON="rsyslogd"

but why did it change?

# rpm -qi rsyslog
....
Version     : 4.4.1
Release     : 3.1

rpm -qi syslog-ng
....
Version     : 2.0.9
Release     : 29.2.1
Install Date: Tue 23 Mar 2010 10:20:52 PM EDT


Why, if I installed syslog-ng later, does it not 'replace' rsyslog?
