Quoth Drew Derbyshire on Sun, 24 August: : : Any program can do that with logger, or write a (long) one-line C : program to call syslog directly. So I must disagree as it to being any : real hole. It's a matter of what you put in syslog.conf. User code can't generate LOG_KERN messages. I can configure syslog so that it is a security problem, or I can configure syslog so that it is not a security problem. But I need to modify the kernel to fix my original complaint.
