You. Do. Not. Understand. What. I. Am. Saying. You need to stop and THINK
while you're reading. rsyslog is the default syslog in ALL VERSIONS of
CentOS 6.

I don't think I'll respond again. I feel as though you do *NOT* understand
linux (or any other version of Unix, usually referred to as *Nix). Go read
the FAQ from the centos website. Go read wikipedia.

I'm tired of making suggestions, and you don't have a clue as to what I'm
asking or suggesting.

I'm at work, for which I am a senior person, and get paid for that. I feel
like I'm wasting time trying to help you.

Try googling for answers, before you post, or if you don't understand some
of the suggestions.
