Logfiles from syslogd

["Tom Schmitt" <TomSchmitt@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I setup a server with Debian Etch and had a look at the 
handling of th logfiles.

Some logfiles are rotated with logrotated, which is
quite confortable. But the syslogd-logfiles have their
own script to rotate them.

My question: Is there a goog reason for this or could I
delete the syslog-script and rotate the syslog-logfiles
with the logrotated too?

And a second question to this matter:
The syslog-script is restarting the syslogd every day.
This seemes very odd to me. For what purpose is this? 
Why shouldn't I let run syslogd all the time (as long
as I didn't change the config)?

Thanks,
Tom.
