syslog-ng is now installed! To replace FreeBSD's standard syslogd (/usr/sbin/syslogd), complete these steps: 1. Create a configuration file named %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog-ng.conf (a sample named syslog-ng.conf.sample has been included in %%PREFIX%%/etc). Note that this is a change in 2.0.2 version, previous ones put the config file in %%PREFIX%%/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf, so if this is an update move that file in the right place 2. Configure syslog-ng to start automatically by adding the following to /etc/rc.conf: syslog_ng_enable="YES" 3. Prevent the standard FreeBSD syslogd from starting automatically by adding a line to the end of your /etc/rc.conf file that reads: syslogd_enable="NO" 4. Shut down the standard FreeBSD syslogd: kill `cat /var/run/syslog.pid` 5. Start syslog-ng: %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start
