Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.4.1-18

I just appended a line containing "*.* /dev/tty8" to /etc/syslog.conf, to let 
anything also beeing reported on tty8.

After customizing /etc/syslog.conf, neither way to stop&start, restart or 
reload syslogd via /etc/init.d/sysklogd seems to work properly. /sbin/syslogd 
is running again, but no kernel messages are logged in any way. Logging from 
other processes like cron, backup-manager or sshd works.

A complete system reboot helps, as does switching to runlevel 1 and then back 
to runlevel 2 via init. But neither option passed to /etc/init.d/sysklogd that 
involves stopping syslogd seems to get logging of kernel messages back up 
(dmesg still works, though).

After some tinkering around I found out that after a "/etc/init.d/sysklogd 
restart", a manual "/etc/init.d/klogd restart" reenables loggig of kernel 
messages. Is this intended behaviour?

Cheers.
