Some notes: 1) neither of the two is installed by default by the Debian script [1] 2) the default logging daemon for Debian is now rsyslog [2] 3) Enrico Zini proposed a solution to enable remote logging [3] > and use instead some silly startup script that basically does > > busybox syslogd -C16 > busybox klogd > > I looked for a Debian package that did just that but could find it. > Is there any good reason for its absence? Well, if you install busybox's alternatives you then need to be very careful with package upgrades, since AFAIK e.g. installing again sysklogd will result in the lost of the busybox alternative [4]. Another reason specific to Debian on the FreeRunner has been explained by Joachim at [5]. A more detailed discussion on busybox alternatives is available at [6]. Debian bugs #293987 [7], #326243 [8] and #504089 [9] are interesting as well.
