>Description:
When we put an entry in /etc/syslog.conf, after commenting the rest of 
it out, syslog won't log to those new entries
>How-To-Repeat:
Add :

#!startslip
#*.*                                            /var/log/slip.log
#!ppp
#*.*                                            /var/log/ppp.log


To /etc/syslog.conf, and notice it won't do anything. Now do :

*.*                                             /var/log/spool
*.*                                             /var/log/spool2
#!startslip
#*.*                                            /var/log/slip.log
#!ppp
#*.*                                            /var/log/ppp.log

HUP syslog, and it'll log to the files.

Now do :

#!startslip
#*.*                                            /var/log/slip.log
#!ppp
#*.*                                            /var/log/ppp.log
*.*                                             /var/log/spool
*.*                                             /var/log/spool2


HUP syslog. Now it won't log to the files.
