================================================================================ To replace FreeBSD's standard syslogd with msyslog, do this: 1) Create a configuration in %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog.conf. See %%PREFIX%%/share/examples/msyslog for examples. 2) Set up a startup script in %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d. For your convinience, a msyslog.sh has been provided. put this in /etc/rc.conf msyslogd_enable="YES" 3) Pass right values from man pages to /etc/rc.conf for msyslogd_flags="" 4) Stop the standard FreeBSD syslogd from starting automatically by putting this in the end of /etc/rc.conf: syslogd_enable="NO" ================================================================================
