+===================================================================
+To start using rsyslogd(8), stop syslogd(8) if it's running and
+add the following lines to rc.conf(5):
+ syslogd_enable="NO"
+ rsyslogd_enable="YES"
+It's recommended to copy syslog.conf(5) to
+%%PREFIX%%/etc/rsyslog.conf and edit it there. Otherwise add
+this:
+ rsyslogd_config="/etc/syslog.conf"
+newsyslog(8) has the path of syslogd's pid file hardcoded. To
+make it work seamlessly with rsyslog, add this:
+ rsyslogd_pidfile="/var/run/syslog.pid"
+rsyslogd(8) does not support logging /dev/klog. To enable a
+simple logger(1)-based workaround, add this:
+ rsyslogd_klog_enable="YES"
