I would certainly be glad if these patches were incorporated into FreeBSD proper, just to eliminate the need to track future changes to syslogd and produce new (possibly buggy) patches. However, it is not clear that this feature is of wide enough usefulness to warrant that. Since it requires both a patch to an existing system utility and a new utility, it doesn't fit the package metaphor very well either. Hence, the patch and utility are available from my web page. I'm not sure I fully understand your concern, or the definition of "basic functionality" but I can certainly say that it would be tough for it to be more modular and optional than it is right now. :) >From what I have learned, it is possible that this would be suited to .../src/release/picobsd/tinyware but even that seems premature right now.
