syslogd rc's stop order is 99, so in a NIS environment there is a long delay stopping syslogd because at that time NIS is down. I sugest change the stop order to 86 (just before ypbind) -# chkconfig: 2345 30 99 +# chkconfig: 2345 30 86
Thank you for your comment. I have passed it on to a developer for further consideration.
Haven't noticed this here with NIS - why would NIS be causing delays in your case?
