cfcf794e5f Add a flag, -T, that tells syslogd to always replace the timestamp on 
messages from the network. We already replace malformatted timestamps
and this option lets us replace timestamps that are correctly formatted
but wrong.

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.

240d5a9b1c Protect against local flooder of /var/run/log. Do not loop forever in 
syslog(3) if we are a priveleged program (sshd, su, etc.).

- Make syslogd open an additional socket /var/run/logpriv, with 0600
  permissions.
- In libc, try to use this socket.
- Do not loop forever if we are using this socket (partial backout of 1.31)

247444670e - Use stailqueue for sockets instead of socket buffer. Thus 
remove limit for 20 sockets.
- Add possibility to specify file mode for sockets created with '-l'.
- Check that socket name in '-l' is absolute.

a53dffb774 Make the default kernel prefix "kernel:" instead of the boot file, 
with the old behavior available via the -o option (it might still be
useful if one has many kernels and cares which messages came from
which).  If the boot file is not used as the prefix, it is still
logged once at startup.

This change is prompted by the fact that the boot file is now much
longer ("/boot/kernel/kernel" vs. "/kernel"), which significanlty
bloats the syslogd output.
