BUGS:
/usr/include/syslog.h and /usr/include/sys/syslog.h in the
ULTRIX Athena 7.6 release define conflicting values for the LOG_*
macros. Even worse, both are different from the syslog.h in
/source/Ultrix/etc/syslogd/syslog.h. The latter is the only one that
really matters, since it's the only one that has the definitions that
will work properly with the running syslog daemon. And you can't read
it without source access. This situation is unacceptable, as it causes
headaches for anyone compiling system programs which syslog things, and
it brings serious questions to my mind about whether anyone knows for
sure what we are actually running.
RTFM,WEB:
I'm leaving the syslog.ph previously installed, one that seems
to work ok. I have placed a !!!!README.now.syslog.ph!!!! and the
BSD-style syslog.ph in /afs/sipb/project/foo-srever/common/perl.
