Yea, syslog-ng is what I am trying to install.

As you can see that xinetd is the process bound to port 514. If I look 
at the xinetd config, here are the only entries that are enabled:
syslog:/etc/xinetd.d #grep -i disable * | grep no
bpcd:        disable                 = no
bpjava-msvc:        disable                 = no
nrpe:   disable         = no
rexec:  disable                 = no
rlogin: disable                 = no
rsh:    disable                 = no
rsync:  disable = no
telnet: disable         = no
vnetd:        disable                 = no
vopied:        disable                 = no

syslog:/etc/xinetd.d #cat /etc/xinetd.conf
#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{
        instances               = 60
        log_type                = SYSLOG authpriv
        log_on_success          = HOST PID
        log_on_failure          = HOST
        cps                     = 25 30
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

I am at a loss. I don't see how the services that are enabled in xinetd 
are binding to 514, but something is. This is also a vanilla install of 
RH9 with all update including kernel.

Any ideas anyone?

Thx,
Chuck
