Return to syslog.conf CVS log

Up to [local] / src / etc

Make the default syslog.conf not make the console and root logins
unusable when problems occur. Provide commented out examples showing
people how to direct output to /dev/console or as messages to root,
for situations where such output might acutally be useful, rather than
something that keeps you from fixing a problem due to the screen
getting spewed at.

# Uncomment to log to a central host named "loghost".   You need to run
# syslogd with the -u option on the remote host if you are using this.
# (This is also required to log info from things like routers and
# ISDN-equipment).  If you run -u, you are vulnerable to syslog bombing,
# and should consider blocking external syslog packets
