Webmin "System Logs" module not configured for Debian Lenny's sysklogd

Hi, i installed via virtualmin script, and my debian distro lenny has sysklogd. i had to reconfigure the at the time unused "System Logs" module to you this instead.

Closed (works as designed)

Howdy -- the rsyslog package is the default syslog version installed on Debian Lenny. Webmin is likely assuming that will be the case -- but as you're seeing, it is indeed possible to configure it to use other tools, such as sysklogd.

Yes, Webmin's default configs on Debian assume that you will be using the default logger, which is rsyslog. You can switch it to managing sysklogd by changing the paths on the Module Config page of the System Logs module - this is fully supported.
