    It might not fit always, but have thought about using a syslog server?
    I think there is a package for e.g. a Synology DiskStation.

    SYSLOGHOST=

require a service init.d script, as such there is no script to symlink /etc/foo 
-> /mnt/kd/foo.  AstLinux could create dummy service init.d scripts for these 
cases, but chose not to and allow users to simply edit the /etc/ config files 
directly.  Additionally, many users will never have the need to edit these 
files.
