It's not just a case of "accidentally". syslog-ng is great for
handling remote logs, but regular rsyslog is nice for its simple
configuration. I run rsyslog on all the regular servers, and both
rsyslog and syslog-ng on the log-server.
yum doesn't like that very much, but I just beat it into submission.
