Although removing the syslogd seems natural, since the syslog(3) send
the info directly to EventLog, it is wrong.

The syslog(3) should try to send to the local syslogd (at least, once
per program's life-time). Failing that, it can send to EventLog -- as it
currently does.

Then, the decision, as to what to do with the messages can be returned
to the administrator, with EventLog being just one of the possible
options (perhaps, a default one) configurable through the good old
/etc/syslog.conf. Something like this should be possible:

        local6.*                        @loghost
        *.*                             |EventLog

Yours,
