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. James Pearson
