While examining one of my host logs I saw this behaviour. Does anyone know
of any new syslogd exploits floating around? I've been under pretty steady
attack of imap scripts and the like.

Apr 18 04:02:03 host syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
Apr 18 04:02:03 host syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
Apr 18 04:02:03 host syslogd 1.3-3: restart.

I checked rootshell and the like and I didn't find anything.
