Hello Friends,

Re: syslog () ...

/cut lots of stuff/

I was involved in the development phase of some of the arpa products,
and my recollection (don't quote me on this) was that we hacked up a
subset of syslog() to support the bare minimum functionality we needed
to get the ports done (for telnet as an example).  So I am suspect the
syslog() you have found here is not a full blown - works as documeted
version.  Second question about syslogd, no I have not seen one, but
others on this list may have some input.

: Looks like POSIX is being enhanced in bits and pieces but stuck in separate
: XLs that the general public doesn't know about.  It would be EXTREMELY NICE,
: HP, if you could make new POSIX function calls generally available.

: Would somebody like to fess up about the syslog() support in INSVXL?  Does
: it attempt to find a syslogd listener on port 514 on the local machine, or is
: it logging to the MPE console, the MPE log files, etc?

: HP, are you hiding a syslogd somewhere also?
