+<h1>rsyslog.conf configuration file</h1>
+<p><b>Rsyslog is configured via the rsyslog.conf file</b>,
+typically found in /etc. By default, rsyslogd reads the file
+/etc/rsyslog.conf. This may be changed by command line option "-f".</p>
+<p><a href="http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Configuration_Samples">
+Configuration file examples can be found in the rsyslog wiki</a>. Also
+keep the
+<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/config-snippets/">rsyslog config snippets</a>
+on your mind. These are ready-to-use
+real building blocks for rsyslog configuration.
+</p>
+<p>While rsyslogd contains enhancements over standard syslogd,
+efforts have been made to keep the configuration file as compatible as
+possible. While, for obvious reasons, <a href="features.html">enhanced
+features</a> require a different config file syntax, rsyslogd
+should be able to work with a standard syslog.conf file. This is
+especially useful while you are migrating from syslogd to rsyslogd.</p>
