Then you will have to use the same pidfile and logrotate file as used in
sysklogd.  At least syslog-ng depends on their existence.

A longer explanation:

Due to a logrotate limitation (unable to function if it detects the same file
being rotate in diferent scripts) I had to ship the same logrotate script as
shipped in sysklogd (same MD5 digest to avoid file conflicts).  In order to be
able to ship it I also had to modified the name of the default pidfile name used
by syslog-ng.


$ cat /etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng 
#---
# Syslog-ng command line options
# See syslog-ng(8) for more details
#---
SYSLOGNG_OPTIONS="-p /var/run/syslogd.pid"
