Why, if I installed syslog-ng later, does it not 'replace' rsyslog?
Well, you can install many things without actually running them...
That's an unhelpful comment, Peter. Syslog isn't something YOU run, its a system service started by the appropriate /etc/init.d file for the run-level So long as there is a /etc/init.d/rc?.d/S03syslog and the entry in /etc/sysconfig/syslog for it to read then the syslog program will be run. So, I refreshed (reinstalled) syslog-ng. part of the install script was to update /etc/sysconfig/syslog. . So, which ever is installed last *should* change /etc/sysconfig/syslog to make use of that. Which begs the question ... what dragged in rsyslog? And why were the timestamps abiut the install time/date misleading? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
