Because "chkconfig rsyslog --list" doesn't show any information, and it doesn't seem to be running after reboot. Doing: # chkconfig rsyslog --add # chkconfig rsyslog on doesn't seem to do anything. Shouldn't it be on by default? -Philip -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
