here is the script that starts up syslog what do i have 2 change?

#!/bin/sh

#
#
# chkconfig: 2345 30 99
# description: Syslog is the facility by which many daemons use to log \
# messages to various system log files. It is a good idea to always \
# run syslog.

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

[ -f /sbin/syslogd ] || exit 0
[ -f /sbin/klogd ] || exit 0

RETVAL=0

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting system logger: "
# we don't want the MARK ticks
daemon syslogd -m 0
RETVAL=$?
echo
echo -n "Starting kernel logger: "
daemon klogd
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/syslog
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down kernel logger: "
killproc klogd
echo
echo -n "Shutting down system logger: "
killproc syslogd
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/syslog
;;
status)
status syslogd
status klogd
RETVAL=$?
;;
restart|reload)
$0 stop
$0 start
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: syslog {start|stop|status|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL



Many thanks
Kudos

I think you need to change the line in the start section:
daemon syslogd -m 0

To:
daemon syslogd -r -m 0
