Openlog takes two - you just don't see the prototype.
Syslog under Ultrix uses the 4.2BSD conventions, not the 4.3 ones so
LOG_DAEMON is not defined or used.
You can write code like
#ifdef LOG_DAEMON
openlog("foobar", LOG_PID|LOG_DAEMON);
#else
openlog("foobar", LOG_PID);
#endif
Personally, I don't believe it will ever be fixed in ultrix.
