/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog says this :-
# Source config
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/syslog ] ; then
. /etc/sysconfig/syslog
else
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0"
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-2"
fi
So yours is a belt-n-braces approach. However, /etc/sysconfig/syslog
trumps SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog , so I guess you
tried them in the wrong order :-)
Or you speled it wrong - looks easy. Cut-n-paste always.
But it is a good description of making it work. Check both.
Cheers, Andy!
