README.SLACKWARE for rsyslog
The package contains the /etc/rc.d/rc.rsyslogd init script which will
start rsyslogd.
Since rsyslog basically supersedes the klogd/syslogd daemons, the stock
Slackware sysklogd package should be removed and its leftovers cleaned up:
1. Remove useless logrotate configuration:
rm /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
2. Make rsyslog start automatically on boot, without modifications to rc.M:
cd /etc/rc.d && ln -sf rc.rsyslogd rc.syslog
cd /usr/sbin && ln -sf rsyslogd syslogd
To make the transition even easier, you will find /etc/rsyslog.conf in the
proper format, which was converted from sysklogd's syslog.conf.
/etc/rc.d/rc.rsyslogd is written to emulate syslogd. To prevent rc.inet1
from attempting to run rc.syslog again, rc.syslogd will copy/remove the
/var/run/syslogd.pid file on successful start/stop invocations.
