Hi All,

FWIW, there are two bugs which might be related to this.
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4837
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4860

My opinion is to respect the same configuration file in both sysv and 
systemd systems.
The configuration file is /etc/syslog-startup.conf.

Best Regards,
