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 ....
