35741267c0 Add a new option, -N to disable the default and recommended syslogd(8)
behavior, which binds to the well known UDP port.

This option implies -s.

98d1f19ba2 Here v->iov_len has been assigned the return value from snprintf.
Checking if it is > 0 doesn't make sense, because snprintf returns
how much space is needed if the buffer is too small. Instead, check
if the return value was greater than the buffer size, and truncate
the message if it was too long.

It isn't clear if snprintf can return a negative value in the case
of an error - I don't believe it can. If it can, then testing
v->iov_len won't help 'cos it is a size_t, not an ssize_t.

Also, as clang points out, we must always increment v here, because
later code depends on the message being in iov[5].

2c76b63f00 jh pointed out that src/usr.sbin already has a global
WARNS=6 setting in HEAD (unlike stable/8), so it's best
to remove the line entirely.

974835c956 syslogd(8) already supports *sending* log messages to non-
standard ports, but it can't *receive* them (port 514 is
hardcoded).  This commit adds that missing feature.

(NB:  I actually needed this feature for a server farm where
multiple jails run with shared IP addresses, and every jail
should have its own syslogd process.)

As a side effect, syslogd now compiles with WARNS=6.

2734cf8c82 Let syslogd use utmpx.
Because strings are guaranteed to be null terminated, there is no need
for excessive copying of strings, such as the line name.

7a7043c787 Avoid sshd, cron, syslogd and inetd to be killed under high-pressure swap
environments.
Please note that this can't be done while such processes run in jails.

Note: in future it would be interesting to find a way to do that
selectively for any desired proccess (choosen by user himself), probabilly
via a ptrace interface or whatever.

be389c75f0 Add the ability to log to an arbitrary udp port as well as the
standard syslog port. This allows syslog to easily export lines of interest to

ae4f0fc3a9 Currently, if writing out a log entry fails, we unlink that log entry from our
internal list of logfiles. So if writev(2) fails for potentially transient
errors like ENOSPC, syslogd requires a restart, even if the filesystem has
purged.

This change allows syslogd to ignore ENOSPC space errors, so that when the
filesystem is cleaned up, syslogd will automatically start logging again
without requiring the reset. This makes syslogd(8) a bit more reliable.

c503ddf2cc By default (for security reasons) syslogd(8) doesn't create log files
when they don't exist, but sometimes its quite useful (eg. we use
non-standard log files and memory backed /var/, which is populated on
boot).

Add -C option which tells syslogd(8) to create log files if they don't
exist.

catch all transient errors. This fixes situations where transient
error conditions such as network interfaces losing carrier signals
or the system running out of mbufs would result in the permanent
removal of forwarding syslog messages.
