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/syslog-ng.conf
(a sample named syslog-ng.conf.sample has been included)
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.sh start
