• Bug#266985: sysklogd: config values embedded in /etc/init.d/sysklogd

    Package: sysklogd
    Version: 1.4.1-10
    Severity: normal

    In /etc/init.d/sysklogd there are these lines:

    # Options for start/restart the daemons
    # For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD="-r"
    #
    SYSLOGD=""

    Shouldn't those be in /etc/default/sysklogd? I keep having to edit the last line.

    A similar problem occurs in /etc/cron.*/sysklogd--those logfile rotation scripts are somewhat archaic, and tools like logrotate have nicely solved
    that problem years ago.
