Description

We currently edit all the syslogs config we can detect.

This is stupid, as in the large majority of the cases there can be only one active syslog service...

We should just edit the first syslog we detect and pass on, in the order:
  • rsyslog (majority of recent OSes)
  • syslog-ng (especially SLES10, used on some setups too)
  • syslogd (highly deprecated, used by RHEL5 and AIX)
