Many of you will think this is a retrograde step but I need to know if there is a way to use syslod instead of rsyslogd in Fredora 9. The reason for this is simple, I have a package which is script based and needs syslogd to log errors. I have tried to debug the script but there is one entry where the script looks for the existance of syslog and fails. I cannot find this entry (Oh I have tried!!!).

Can anyone help please?

Yes, of course you can install syslogd on any version of Linux.

I realise that syslogd can be installed on any version of Unix but cannot find the installable package on the Fedora packages so what am I missing? I have also looked at the Redhat Fedora site and cannot see any mention of syslogd just rsyslogd that is my dilemma. Will old versions of syslogd work from Fedora 6 for example?
