Thanks for your patch. However, I would just update the comment to state that the default configuration should be set in /etc/default/syslogd. I wouldn't set the default SYSLOGD in the init script to use the -u switch as this configuration needs more work to make it works correctly (as you

Sorry, I need to upload yet another version of the patchset... third time lucky. I wasn't allowing for the possibility that /etc/default/syslogd exists, yet doesn't set $SYSLOGD. This is mentioned in the Debian policy manual at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy /ch-opersys.html, section

Paradoxically, the /etc/default files are intended for you to modify to *change* the defaults -- so you don't need to edit the init script, and thus risk difficult merges if the init script changes. -- sysklogd init-script arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103232 You received this bug

so if I understand you right variables in init-scripts should not be changed. Changes should be made in the default files. Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for the explanation. -- sysklogd init-script arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103232 You received this bug

I still believe there is a bug, although it has changed slightly. I'm running a very new, fresh install of feisty. The default /etc/init.d/sysklogd has the line: SYSLOGD=-u syslog The default /etc/init.d/syslogd has the line: SYSLOGD= which overrides/nukes the init.d parameters.

I can confirm this bug. I found that if you move the SYSLOGD line containing the parameters down below the . /lib/lsb/init-functions line, then it works. So something in init-functions is nuking the SYSLOGD variable. -- sysklogd init-script arguments https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103232 You
