+The syslog-ng application is a flexible and highly scalable system logging
+application that is ideal for creating centralized and trusted logging
+solutions. This free, open-source version is an extremely well-developed,
+high performance, stable system being the Linux/Unix world's most frequently
+used alternative central logging system. The application can operate in
+server or agent mode, and - apart from UDP - supports the reliable TCP and
+the encrypted TLS protocols. That way syslog-ng can be used to create
+flexible and reliable logging infrastructure even in heterogeneous
+environments.
+
+This requires eventlog.  For SQL support, you also need libdbi.
+
+For more information on how to install and run syslog-ng, see README.SLACKWARE
+that came with this package (which is also installed with the docs).

+Since syslog-ng basically supersedes klogd/syslogd daemons, stock Slackware
+sysklogd package should be removed, and leftovers cleaned up, so here are
+some things you need to do:
+
+Remove useless logrotate configuration:
+
+  rm /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
+
+Make syslog-ng start automatically on boot, without modifications to rc.M:
+
+  cd /etc/rc.d && ln -sf rc.syslog-ng rc.syslog
+  cd /usr/sbin && ln -sf syslog-ng syslogd
+
+To make transition even easier, i converted syslog.conf from sysklogd
+package to syslog-ng.conf format. You can find it in /etc/syslog-ng.
+
+Another thing worth mentioning here is rc.syslog-ng, wich is written to
+also emulate syslogd. On a successful start/stop it will copy/remove
+syslog-ng.pid to /var/run/syslogd.pid so that rc.inet1 doesn't atempt
+running rc.syslog for a second time.
