So back at the very beginning when I asked you to verify your package...

rpm -V sysklogd

That would have told you that /etc/syslog.conf was changed.

In the future you should be a little more thorough when following the 
advice of people taking time out of their day trying to debug problems 
for you remotely.  If you don't understand what they are asking you to 
do, ask.
