The above works on every system I've done it to (which is quite a few). I suspect you've either got a typo in your rc.conf, or a corrupt/nonstandard /etc/rc.d/syslogd file, or some other oddity preventing it from working. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to not start syslogd
I've installed and configured syslog-ng from ports and no longer wish to have the standard syslogd run. Putting syslogd_enable="NO" into /etc/rc.conf did not prevent it from starting. Of course I can see lots of ways of preventing syslogd from starting. I could remove the binary, I could remove /etc/rc.d/syslogd, but I would like to know if there is a recommended, easy to undo, and update resistant way of doing this.
