Update: [SLE] syslog-ng installation
If I issue the command 'syslog-ng start' from the command line in /etc/init.d syslog-ng appears to start with no errors. Help? N

To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] syslog-ng installation Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2002 02:33:05 +0000 I believe I installed syslog-ng correctly using Yast2 by going into Add/Remove software and checking the box for syslog-ng. Suseconfig ran and all appeared ok. When I go into Run Level editor however and enable syslog-ng and then attempt to start it it reports /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start returned 3 (Unimplemented feature.) Starting syslog-ng servicesyslog-ng 1.4.14 ..missing
Did I miss something on the install? Where can I get an updated SuSEfriendly version of syslog-ng? Any help is appreciated. If there is a clue in the above message indicating where I should look for answers then please pass along.
Thanks

And you're wondering why syslogd & klogd are still running? There are a few issues at play here. Here's what I've found (eg done): /etc/init.d/syslog-ng never touches syslogd. Thus, you'll always have both daemons running. 8( The simple fix it to remove syslog via chkconfig/insserv. B/c of some dependency issues, you'll have to forcefully remove it "chkconfig -f syslog off". That's not really a since after all, you'll be running syslog-ng. So, that leaves klogd. The default /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf isn't configured to handle the kern facility, thus klogd is needed. If you're using you own custom syslog-ng that handles kern then set "SYSLOG_NG_REPLACE" to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng. Yeah, I know that this seems counter-intuitive, but it's how the startup script parses things. That should give you the expected behavior. --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
