You probably don't want to do anything to delay its being written to disk, so if not the source-code hacking, then at display or archive (logrotate) time. I have a little Perl I use to beautify Squid logs; the same approach could be applied to syslog output. The problem with source-code hacking is that, unless you can get your hackery rolled into the master copy, you have that little extra delay in installing any new releases. -- Cheers John.
