[task #5490] syslog

[Constantine Kousoulos]

Hello again,

From http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5490:
"Find and implement a suitable way to make the Hurd servers use 
`syslog'. "

Can someone explain what this task demands to be done?

Debian's syslogd seems to be working with the current GNU/Hurd 
snapshot. To test it, i added a few syslog entries in 
/hurd/utils/ps.c and it worked ok.

I understand that syslogd cannot act as klogd does in linux. Maybe 
we need to modify GNU Mach or glibc's syslog.h to get something 
klogi. But why can't syslogd work as it is for the hurd servers?


Thanks,
Constantine
