Debian 5 - sysklog vs rsyslog
The instructions I'm following call for editing /etc/init.d/sysklogd so the line
SYSLOG=""
becomes
SYSLOG="-a /var/lib/named/dev/log"
But the node doesn't have sysklogd. It does have rsyslog, and the configuration file for that sets
RSYSLOG=rsyslog
Editing that seems less straightforward.
1. What is the difference between rsyslog and sysklog?
2. How do I edit rsyslog for the chroot configuration?

Rsyslog is the modern version of sysklogd – see

Difficult to say without knowing the rest of the instructions you're following
However, a good guess would be to create a new file named /etc/rsyslog.d/bind-chroot.conf, and insert the line
$AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/named/dev/log
Cheers.
