Re: [CentOS] rsyslog as default syslog daemon?

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.

Thank you James, you are right, 'chkconfig syslog off; chkconfig rsyslog on' solved this problem.
