=the propossed change to logger(1) was done in version 1.6 for
=5-CURRENT. It is not yet in 4-STABLE.
=The calls for syslog(3) et al weren't updated.
=Is it still needed to send log information to a remote host without
=syslogd locally running?
My reasoning was that since the functionality will be present in the
system anyway, it would be better to place it into a library, from where
it can be used by other programs. This would benefit systems running in
embedded installations, which would prefer not to run the whole syslog
of their own, as well as others...
Locking the functionality inside a utility, while seemingly trying to
keep the libc cleaner, will only encourage ugliness like system("logger
...") :-\
