I would humbly like to request that sysloging for the DECstation be fixed for
the next release.
As it stands, becasue ULTRIX openlog only takes 2 arguments and the normal BSD
syslog call takes 3.
The result is that all the useful syslogs like repeated login failures and
such get mixed in with the sendmail syslogs. This makes looking for failed
login attempt more difficult to do centrally.
Matt
