Log:
nologin.8: Improve wording
I disagree that this improves wording. The norm of action for
"logging" in Unix is to "write to syslog", not "log to syslog".
Hmm, I agree, but here it is "log using syslog".
Please read syslog(3) it is rather consistent about using
"write to syslog". The action of calling syslog(3) is to
"writes message to the system message logger."
Obviously, we write to syslog but from what I remember the reason why we decided to change the
wording to "log using syscall" was that you don't write to the syslog(3) function, but you use it
instead.
Have you got any idea how to further improve this sentence?
No, but can we not degrade it?
Sure. Would you like me to just revert it?
Cheers,
Mateusz
