I think your problem is that you did 'chkconfig --del syslog' - as the
man page states:
--del name
The service is removed from chkconfig management, and any sym-
bolic links in /etc/rc[0-6].d which pertain to it are removed.
Note that future package installs for this service may run chk-
config --add, which will re-add such links. To disable a ser-
vice, run chkconfig name off.
I believe you should have done 'chkconfig syslog off' instead.
We use rsyslog instead of sysklogd and don't get this problem.
