No typeo, at least not that my overworked brain can't spot right now. Things changed for rc.conf with 3.1. For everything before 3.1 (including 3.0) there was a /etc/rc.conf with *lots* of stuff in it and you edited that file to change what you wanted. So, if you are running 2.x or 3.0 and don't want to run syslog you need to find the line syslogd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and change the "YES" to "NO". For 3.1 the big rc.conf file was moved to /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf is just a small file that OVERRIDES the defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. So, you turn off syslogd you ADD this line to /etc/rc.conf: syslogd_enable="NO" I think thats what I said above, but I've been up too long and both me and my dog wanna go home.
