Hi all

I've noticed that syslogd run as root, but why? Syslog just need to 
connect to a port, get messages and write them to some files, so why does 
I have to be root? I know you have to be root to bind() to a port below 
1024, but there should be a syslog user to lower UID to after it have 
done that?!?!?

Btw is the BBS, Heap and stack executable in freebsd? If yes, why? And 
can you guide me to some detailed info about ELF?
