Probably because syslogd is more tested and reliable. The ng one still has some bugs, and even missing features.
Which version is in 10.2? Go to the syslog-ng homepage, current version is 2.0. I'm not sure which features might be missing, syslog-ng doesn't encrypt or compress a log file. I suppose encryption would be important for any separate log file for facility authpriv. Does syslogd support file encryption?
Even so, I prefer the ng one.
So do I, by a large margin. -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
