The Syslog daemon
The syslogd daemon is the general system logging daemon, which is
responsible for handling requests for syslog services.
This version of syslogd is similar to the standard Berkeley product,
but with a number of compatible extensions.

- Update ot version 1.5.1 ChangeLog for version 1.5.1 Many thanks to Rainer Gerhards, rsyslog project lead, for identifying a problem with how rsyslog's rsyslogd and sysklogd's syslogd check for invalid priority values (CVE-2014-3634). ChangeLog for version 1.5 * Fix file descriptor leak in klogd * Improve argument list processing * Prevent potential buffer overflow in reading messages from the kernel log ringbuffer * Ensure that "len" is not placed in a register, and that the endtty() signal handler is not installed too early which could cause a segmentation fault or worse * klogd will reconnect to the logger (mostly syslogd) after it went away during operation * On heavily loaded system syslog will not spit out error messages anymore when recvfrom() results in EAGAIN * Makefile improvements * Local copy of module.h * Improved manpage * Always log with syslogd's timezone and locale * Remove trailing newline when forwarding messages * Continue working properly if /etc/service is missing and ignore network activity * Continue writing to log files as soon as space becomes available again after a filled up disk * Removed test to detect control characters> 0x20 as this prevented characters encoded in UTF-8 to be properly passed through * Only resolve the local domain when accepting messages from remote * Properly accompany the MARK message with the facility
