Retry DNS lookup for remote loghost. If DNS lookup for a remote loghost configured in syslog.conf did not work at startup, the entry was ignored. Better retry the lookup in intervals until it succeeds. Improve debug output to print IP address after resolution. Unify retry code that resolves DNS for UDP and connects to TCP server. testing and feedback from Paul de Weerd; OK deraadt@

When writing a message, syslogd did a combination of putting everything into an iov and do some sprintf() formating later. Better put everything into the iov upfront based on what the output methods need. Then either the full iov is written or a line is created by concatenating. OK martijn@

When syslogd(8) parent process terminates, the file cleanup code did not work anymore. unveil(2) prevented removal. Cleaning the UNIX domain sockets is not necessary. They are harmless and unlinked before a new bind. So delete that functionality and convert global to local variables. Providing /var/run/syslog.pid is a common feature that should be kept. A stale pid file is confusing. So add a constant path to unveil(2) to allow pid file removal. OK deraadt@

Start to replace the home grown syslogd(8) internal debug and logging functions with a more common log.c implementation. Of course openlog(3) cannot be used, so adapt the log.[ch] initially copied from ospfd(8) to syslogd's special needs. As the messages are limited to ERRBUFSIZE anyway, malloc(3) in the error logging code can be avoided. Changing all log calls to the new API will be done in a separate step. OK millert@

If writing to a tty blocks, syslogd forked and tried to write again in a background process. A potential fork(2) at every message is bad, so replace this with an event. As a bonus the syslogd child process does not need to pledge "proc" anymore. Also limit the number of delayed write events. OK deraadt@

Privilege separated syslog daemon. The child listening to log requests drops to user _syslogd and chroots itself, while the privileged parent grants it access to open logfiles and other calls it needs. The only difference from existing behaviour is that if syslog.conf changes and syslogd receives a HUP, it will re-exec itself and have two new PIDs. A HUP with an unchanged config will make syslogd reopen logfiles as before. Lots of help and code from deraadt@ , and advice from millert@ Various versions tested by todd, cloder, mpech, markus, tdeval and others
