README.SuSE -- 13.09.2006

Dear Admin,

the syslog-ng configuration has changed since SuSE Linux 8.2.
 Now, it is fully intergrated as an system logging service.

There is no separate init-script /etc/init.d/syslog-ng nor
 /etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng configuration file any more.
 The needed functionality is provided by the /etc/init.d/syslog
 script and the configuration is moved to /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

Beginning with openSUSE 10.2, the SuSEconfig script and its
 syslog-ng.conf.in configuration template aren't used any more.

Feel free to edit the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf directly
 and adopt it to your needs.

Additional log sockets for chroot environments can be declared
 in the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file using
        SYSLOGD_ADDITIONAL_SOCKET<NAME>
 variables. This way allows to define a socket from RPM scripts
 and is used by several services, e.g. bind and dhcpd.

The sockets defined in /etc/sysconfig/syslog file are added by
 the /etc/ini.d/syslog init-script using "-a path" command line
 options while syslog-ng is started.

This syslog-ng contains an extension and appends the sockets
 added by "-a" option to the same source group and using the
 same socket type (unix-dgram) as the "/dev/log" socket.

If one of the sockets added by "-a" option already exists in
 any (other) source group in the config file, then the socket
 added by "-a" option is ignored.

Kind regards,
 Your SUSE Team.
