It appears syslog-ng is running. I don't know if syslog-ng is
working. If your logs are going where they need to go while syslogd(8) is shut down, then it's working.
To keep syslogd(8) daemon from starting at boot time, add this line to /etc/rc.conf.local:
With that variable assignment, the start_daemon() subroutine in /etc/rc will not execute /etc/rc.d/syslogd:
Code:
start_daemon()
{
local _n
for _n; do
eval _do=\${${_n}_flags}
if [ X"${_do}" != X"NO" ]; then
/etc/rc.d/${_n} start
fi
done
}
