Well, since you seem to have compiled syslog-ng on your own, the
integration into your OS (e.g. service registration) must have been
performed by you manually.

You should probably disable the syslogd service via the native AIX
service manager, unless you've ensured that the two daemons do not
collide on things like udp/514 and log files.
