I am using SuSE 8.1 to build a cental syslog server and have installed syslog-ng. I need to run postfix in order to send alerts. Now that I have disabled syslog and enabled/installed syslog-ng, postfix no longer starts on its own at boot. When I attempt to start it manually, it responds that syslog is required to be running to start postfix.. do I want to start syslog? If I say yes then postfix starts fine but I don't really want to be running syslog AND syslog-ng do I? Linux is new to me so I apologize for my ignorance. Is there a simple work-around to tell postfix to use syslog-ng rather than syslog? I guess I don't understand where this dependency comes from. Any help is appreciated.
