[syslog-ng] syslogd as well as syslog-ng running simultaneously

[Pramod Pillai]

Hi

I would recommend you to disable legacy syslogd. And then port all the
syslog.conf entries to syslog-ng.conf file.
Having syslog and syslogd enabled might result in double logging, in
case you are writing to the same file.

Regards
Pramod
