I implemented this and if anyone is interested I would be glad to help with it. So far I just did not find the time to continue development or even a FreeBSD port on my own (finishing university, looking for a job, etc). -- The code is in NetBSD-Current and my own development repository is now online at https://github.com/mschuett/nbsd-syslog With regard to porting the biggest difference between systems is the libevent library, which is included in NetBSD and used in the syslogd(8). The main "problem" with the IETF/NetBSD syslogd(8) is that it does not only change the message/protocol format, but at the same time implements TLS communication and digital signatures. -- In combination these functions really add size and complexity to the code. To improve things I wonder if syslogd(8) could be restructured into a plugin-based architecture. That might keep the different logging targets (files, console, UDP, TLS) and optional features (new/old format, signatures) separate and simpler. Of course only if it is simple enough not to add yet another layer of overhead and complexity. - -- Martin Schütte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8+Sp0ACgkQrb26LrIR2NllIACg7BieDyiVUabLww4n06vehhPe JjoAoJAq9zAejj0BynH6mP+RBlearIdL =xV69 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
