Interesting perspective.  The reason it seemed so important here to shut
it down was because I had configured it to forward to a syslog server
here and then also configured syslog-ng3 to do the same.  Of course that
was not a good situation.

But indeed, simply reverting the configuration of having the built-in
syslogd log to the syslog server serves my purposes as well.

But what about slurping up the kernel messages, (i.e. /proc/kmesg)?  Can
the built-in syslogd/klogd and syslog-ng3 both read from those or will
it be racy with the first reader consuming them and the second reader
not getting any?

Cheers,
b.
