I still believe there is a bug, although it has changed slightly.   I'm
running a very new, fresh install of feisty.

The default /etc/init.d/sysklogd   has the line:

  SYSLOGD="-u syslog"

The default /etc/init.d/syslogd  has the line:

  SYSLOGD=""

which overrides/nukes the init.d parameters.

This means that syslogd is running as root, instead of running as the
lower privileged user of "syslog".  I confirmed this with "ps -ef".

A fix would be to copy/move the "SYSLOGD=" line from init.d into
/etc/default/syslogd.  Or to remove /etc/default/syslogd entirely in the
default install.
