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.
