You can easily switch to rsyslog by doing: yum install rsyslog chkconfig syslog off chkconfig rsyslog on /etc/init.d/syslog stop /etc/init.d/rsyslog start The default rsyslog config should do that same as the default config settings for syslog I believe RHEL6/CentOS6 uses rsyslog by default James Pearson
