I've installed and configured syslog-ng from ports and no longer wish  
to have the standard syslogd run.

Putting

   syslogd_enable="NO"

into /etc/rc.conf did not prevent it from starting.

Of course I can see lots of ways of preventing syslogd from starting.   
I could remove the binary, I could remove /etc/rc.d/syslogd, but I  
would like to know if there is a recommended, easy to undo, and update  
resistant way of doing this.

Thanks,

-j
