Description Tony Austin 2002-10-21 16:52:43 UTC
I just built a new Gentoo 1.4-rc1 system and chose metalog at first.

It worked but I did not like metalog so I thought I would try sysklogd instead.
 I tried to remove metalog from my /etc/runlevels setup using:-

rc-update del metalog

and it said it had removed it.

I them emerged sysklogd and did:-

rc-update add sysklogd boot

which gave me a warning about having more than one logging service (sorry I
can't find the exact words, but other people have reported the message on the
forums).  This message persisted on a re-boot and seemed impossible to remove
with rc-update.

In the end I did manage to get rid of the warning message by unmerging metalog
and removing absolutely every trace that I could find of metalog from /etc and
/mnt/.init.d.  It took several attempts to get it to go because it just kept on
coming back - all the files kept re-appearing in /mnt/init.d; most odd.

I am sure there must be a bug in rc-update as it was impossible to change
loggers simply by using this script.

Due to CONFIG_PROTECT, the rc-script will still be in /etc/init.d/.  Please
delete it, then run 'depscan.sh'.
