It was supposed to. I had created a file option in /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog that could be set so you could choose one or the other...that seems to have been dropped. The problem that we faced is that removing sysklogd causes syslog.conf to be renamed to syslog.conf.rpmsave...so we have to look for that file and rename it if the configuration file does not exist. The basic theory was supposed to be: 1) if neither syslog.conf or syslog.conf.rpmsave exist, modify /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog use rsyslog.conf 2) if syslog.conf doesn't exist and syslog.conf.rpmsave exists, rename it to syslog.conf. /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog defaults to syslog.conf so no change needed 3) use the config file option -f in the initscript to choose syslog.conf or rsyslog.conf which comes from /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog -Steve ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.
