Well, I've not noticed anyone else do this, sooo...

syslogd.taz uploaded to nic.funet.fi, sunsite.unc.edu, tsx-11.mit.edu

This is the source to syslogd plus test programs along with a syslogd
executable compiled against libc 4.2.

This version uses the /proc/kmsg method of catching kernel messages.
It also opens things with O_NOCTTY to avoid causing strange things to
happen with VCs and process groups :-)

For those that don't know syslogd is a daemon that catches messages
from various places and handle them according to user defined rules,
writing them to the console, logging them in files etc.
