Disable syslodg?

[taproot420 <taproot420_(_at_)_myrealbox_(_dot_)_com>]

What is the best method to disable syslogd, and not have it start upon 
boot?  I looked @ /etc/rc  and saw that syslogd is being called from 
this script, but would like to check and make sure that committing (#) 
out its entry .....here is the best way to deactivate. This particular 
machine is functioning as a NATPD gateway only and therefore I don't see 
a need for the syslogd daemon as sendmail is keeping me informed.

Is it safe to do this?

Thanks in advance.
