sysklogd
The sysklogd package implements two system log daemons. The syslogd daemon is an enhanced version of the standard Berkeley utility program. It is responsible for providing logging of messages received from programs and facilities on the local host as well as from remote hosts. The klogd daemon listens to kernel message sources and is responsible for prioritizing and processing operating system messages. It can run as a client of syslogd or optionally as a standalone program. Klogd can be used to decode EIP addresses if it can find a System.map file.

Changes: klogd will now set the console log level only if -c is given on the commandline, not overwriting local settings in /etc/sysctl.conf. It will use SOCK_DGRM as well, and re-enables kernel logging. It doesn't make syslogd fail with a broken -a. It will skip zero bytes and not enter a busy loop anymore. A patch has been made to prevent LogLine() from being invoked with a negative counter as an argument.
