Hello. I have been considering changing to syslog-ng for a while now, but I've been unable to wrap my brain around the idea since I don't exactly understand how syslog-ng replaces the old syslog. My first question is just that: How does syslog-ng replace the syslog? Do you simply remove klogd and syslogd from running and run syslog-ng instead? Is there a sample syslog-ng.conf that I can use to approximate the old syslog functionality until I get brave enough to tinker with it myself? My next concern is the "syslog -a" function. Where chrooting programs, I need to create extra /dev/log things by using the -a option. Can Syslog-ng also do this? Does syslog-ng still use the normal /dev/log device? I'm sorry if these are simple questions, but I think I will be pretty well set if I understand how closely to syslog syslog-ng works. ----Steve Stephen Amadei Dandy.NET! CTO Atlantic City, NJ
