When I look at the postinstall part of the syslog-ng installation I see this:
# check if daemon configured in SYSLOG_DAEMON is installed # and switch to ourself if it's missed # source etc/sysconfig/syslog replace_syslog=no if test "$SYSLOG_DAEMON" != "syslog-ng" ; then if test -z "$SYSLOG_DAEMON" || \ test ! -x sbin/${SYSLOG_DAEMON} ; then replace_syslog=yes fi fi if test "$replace_syslog" = "yes" ; then sed -i -e 's/^SYSLOG_DAEMON=.*/SYSLOG_DAEMON="syslog-ng"/g' \ etc/sysconfig/syslog fi
There we are. Its editing the etc/sysconfig/syslog file. This would happen if, for example, there was a
SYSLOG_DAEMON="rsyslog"
in there.
Very, very likely a bug and not a feature. :/ See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592192 Please add further comments there. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
