Upstream changes mean that the advice formerly given in pkg-message to
modify the default /etc/syslog.conf file as the basis of a new
${PREFIX}/etc/rsyslog.conf are now less useful and confusing to end
users.
Therefore, update the pkg-message accordingly, and install a sample
config file which should duplicated the functionality of the base
syslog.conf.

To start using rsyslogd(8), stop syslogd(8) if it is running and
|
|
add the following lines to rc.conf(5):
|
|
|
|
syslogd_enable="NO"
|
|
rsyslogd_enable="YES"
|
|
|
|
For best results, create a new configuration file
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rsyslog.conf rather than trying to re-use the original
|
|
/etc/syslog.conf -- the configuration file syntax has diverged over
|
|
time, and it's no longer anywhere near compatible.
|
|
|
|
The port will install an example configuration file which should
|
|
provide the same logging setup as the default /etc/syslog.conf
|
|
|
|
newsyslog(8) has the path of syslogd's pid file hardcoded. To
|
|
make it work seamlessly with rsyslog, add this:
|
|
|
|
rsyslogd_pidfile="/var/run/syslog.pid"
|
|
EOM
