I think this is a good idea also because allows the user to replace easily the default system logger with another one. I definitely prefer metalog or syslog-ng over sysklogd and rsyslog (basically because of the possibility of configuring them with a text file with a quite intuitive syntax), but I have no idea about which one CRUX should choose as a default. Anyway it would be good to make easier to replace the default one and this patch would allow this.

/etc/syslog.conf for sysklogd is pretty intuitive, it's no less intuitive than syslog-ng's configuration file really. rsyslog's /etc/rsyslog.conf is the same thing, basically, so I see no reason to try to bring syslog-ng (which is pretty complex) into core or opt, personally. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
