Hello,
I noticed a week or two ago that
service crond start
would start klogd and not syslogd; since klogd only logs kernel messages and
syslogd logs application messages, I decided to investigate.
It appears that both the klogd and syslog services provide logger, but
syslog needs klogd.
So I'm wondering: shouldn't syslog be the only service providing logger,
since klogd doesn't listen to applications?
Thanks,
Isaac Dunham

I think you are right. This is a bug.

I pushed a fix to edge, busybox-initscript-2.2-r21. could you please
verify that it works as expected?
Thanks!
