All the '.conf' files not beginning with a '.' contained int he directory
following the keyword will be included.
This keyword can only be used in the first level configuration files.
Modify the default syslogd.conf to 'include' /etc/syslog.d and
/usr/local/etc/syslog.d
It simplify a lot handling of syslog from automation tools.

Enable repeated line compression for lines of any length, instead of only
short lines. AFAICT repeated line compression was limited to short lines as
a RAM optimization, which made sense when karels added it in 1988, but no
longer. The penalty is a paltry 904B of RAM per file logged.

syslogd already re-reads the configuration file and the hostname when
receiving a SIGHUP, so it makes sense to reset the timezone.
Special care was taken to ensure we don't break installations running
with a custom TZ variable.

This allows a separate process to monitor when and how

On POSIX conformant systems, shutdown() should return ENOTCONN when not
connected. We attempted to fix this once (kern/84761), but this change
got backed out because it 'breaks code' (r150155).
I just reapplied the patch and indeed, syslogd fails on startup. Make it
easier to re-enable this change in the future by paching up syslogd to
do the right thing.

- A call was misplaced at the wrong level of nested if blocks, so that
the buffers for unix domain sockets (/dev/log, /dev/klog) were never
increased at all; they remained at a way-too-small default size of 4096.
- The function that was supposed to double the size of the buffer
sometimes did nothing, and sometimes installed a wildly-wrong buffer
size (either too large or too small) due to an unitialized 'slen'
variable passed to getsockopt(). Most often it doubled the UDP buffers
from 40k to 80k because accidentally there would be harmless stack
garbage in the unitialized variables.
- The whole concept of blindly doubling a socket's buffer size without
knowing what size it started at is a design flaw that has to be called a
bug. If the double_rbuf() function had worked at all (I.E., if the
other two bugs didn't exist) this would lead to UDP sockets having an
80k buffer while unix dgram sockets get an 8k buffer. There's nothing
about the problem being solved that requires larger buffers for UDP than
for unix dgram sockets -- the buffering requirements are the same
regardless of socket type.
This change renames the double_rbuf() function to increase_rbuf() and
increases the buffer size on all types of sockets to 80k. 80k was
chosen only because it appears to be the size the original change was
shooting for, and it certainly seems to be reasonably large (I might
have picked 64k in the absence of any historical guidance).

When syslogd forks a process for '|' destinations, it closes all file
descriptors greater than 2.
Use closefrom() for this instead of a getdtablesize()/close() loop because
it is both faster and avoids leaving file descriptors open because the limit
was lowered after they were opened.

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].

hardcoded). This commit adds that missing feature.

multiple jails run with shared IP addresses, and every jail

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