rsyslogd is the default in Enterprise Linux release 6 (based on Fedora 12/13). sysklogd is the default in Enterprise Linux release 5 (based on Fedora Core 6), with rsyslog as a supported option. Fedora Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) offers syslog-ng as an unsupported option. > For at least three years major distros use rsyslog by default. > I vote for the complete removal of the traditional syslog in favor of > rsyslog. The the lastest release of sysklogd was near 5 years ago.
