Is there any danger in just starting /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng from rc.local??? It will get started *later* than if I messed with startup scripts but then again... logging ain't really vital for kernel to run right??? Are there any vital switches or should I just do plain ol' /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng & ??
