Bug 155045

Summary:	/etc/rc.d/syslogd starts syslogd when syslogd_enable="NO"

Description Alan Amesbury 2011-02-25 23:30:09 UTC

syslogd_enable is set to "NO" in /etc/rc.conf:

% cd /etc
% fgrep -h syslogd_enable /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf
syslogd_enable="NO"
syslogd_enable="YES"            # Run syslog daemon (or NO).


Running /etc/rc.d/syslogd should not attempt to start syslogd, but it does.

# /etc/rc.d/syslogd start
Error opening file for reading; filename='/dev/klog', error='Device busy (16)'
Error initializing source driver; source='s_local'
syslogd already running? (pid=87892).


I suspect this is a regression in rcNG, not specifically in /etc/rc.d/syslogd, but I'm not certain about that.

Disregard.  This appears to be an operator headspace-and-timing problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
