Subject: syslogd doesn't use start-stop-daemon

Package: syslogd
Version: 1.2-9

The syslogd package contains, in /etc/init.d/syslogd:

[...]
  start)
    echo -n "Starting syslog daemons: "
    echo -n "syslogd "
    syslogd
    echo -n "klogd "
    klogd
    echo
[...]

This doesn't work, of course, if the daemons are already running - it
will start another pair.  This will happen regularly if the sysadmin
changes the links in /etc/rc?.d so as not to shut down syslogd and
restart it at every change in runlevel (see my bug report #705).

Ian.
