[logs] Remote logging of syslog stops after restart

I have a OS X 10.3.4 system configured as a central log server. I want 
to use this computer to archive and analyze all syslogs from our 
computers and network equipment. When I rotate the logs at night, using 
the etc/daily and etc/weekly maintenance scripts, remote logging stops 
on the the computer. It will log local events however. On the advice of 
a friend I changed the method for restarting syslog after log rotation 
by editing the lines in the periodic scripts as follows:

Replaced these lines
if [ -f /var/run/syslog.pid ]; then kill $(cat /var/run/syslog.pid | 
head -1)
echo ""

With these:
kill $(cat /var/run/syslog.pid)
/usr/sbin/syslogd
echo ""

This has not helped though. Any advice?

Thanks,
Ken Toney
