We've heard this again and again. Any specifics?
Is it an implementation problem or just the way syslog works, period?
I for one am not liking having my logs spread all over machines and in
multiple directories to boot. Makes things like a log host and log
checking very tedious to setup.
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/admin.html#multilog complains that syslog drops
entries under high load, but no specifics.
So, what are the real complaints about syslog? Or are they ancient
history and legend?
Flames welcome, it's cold in Iowa today.
