Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way currently to emit a message from
within kernel, so that syslogd can pick it up later on, but without
spoiling the standard message buffer. AFAIK, there is no way to do it
right now.

The reason I'm asking is that quite a few programs (most notably
ipfw) spit countless messages to kernel msgbuf, thus overwriting any other
important info.

Is there any interest among people to implement such feature?
