less of a 'problem' and more of a nusance. when i installed gentoo i did a stage 3 install. i forgot to unmerge and remove sysklogd from the default run level before i merged and added metalog.

now i get this whenever i run rc-update, this instance i just emerged vsftpd and xinetd.

So I think sysklogd isn't in any runlevels, but xinetd requires it as a dependency. And the 'error' message you get is just rc-update telling you it will use metalog instead. You can check in the /etc/init.d/xinetd file, in the depend section, if there is sysklogd listed.

naw it did this before xinetd was installed. it has done it ever since i installed.

there has to be a way to make it go away.
