syslogd fails to start during boot

[opoplawski]

After upgrading to pfSense + 25.07.1 syslogd fails to start. The only message is:

Oct 14 15:24:09 HOST syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Oct 14 15:24:09 HOST syslogd: sendto: Connection refused

I have syslogd configured to forward messages to syslog-ng on the local IP:

*.*                                                             @10.X.X.X:5140

This has never been an issue before.

I stopped syslog-ng and then restarted syslogd. I got the Connection refused message, but syslogd kept running. So I do think that is directly related.
To be clear - I can restart syslogd just fine after the system is up.
