syslogd-1.4.1-542 (syslog)

11/Nov/2005 tested on SuSE 10.0

Logs system message from remote device, such as router, switch, and wireless access point

Even though syslog-ng (syslog next generation) is the default syslog daemon, syslogd has been the standard, and easy to configure

Configuration

• Install rpm

  # rpm -ihv syslogd-1.4.1-542.i586.rpm

• Switch daemon from syslog-ng to syslogd by YaST. Open YaST-->"/etc/sysconfig Editor"-->"System"-->"Logging"-->"SYSLOG_DAEMON", and select "syslogd" from "syslog-ng"
• Edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog

  ... SYSLOGD_PARAMS="-r" ...

• Restart syslogd

  # /etc/init.d/syslogd restart
