# 1.21 13-Oct-2021 sthen

Change syslog.conf comments relating to network logging to focus on client
setup which is configured in the file itself, rather than talking partly about
client (set in the file), command-line flags used for servers which are
better suited to the syslogd(8) manual, and ISDN.

In the commented-out examples, use tls rather than the plaintext protocol.
If users don't need tls they can change it, but it's a sane default, and
a good place to show that we have the feature.

net/uucp and net/uucpd don't log to syslog. Discussed with jmc@

Use comma only to separate facilities on the same level. Sort selector
lines on facility. End sentences with a dot. And some whitespace nits.

Matrix (debug mode) is equivalent.

# 1.14 23-Apr-2005 beck

Make the default syslog.conf not make the console and root logins
unusable when problems occur. Provide commented out examples showing
people how to direct output to /dev/console or as messages to root,
for situations where such output might acutally be useful, rather than
something that keeps you from fixing a problem due to the screen
getting spewed at.

local0 was there for ipf. daemon has its own logfile.

Actually, remove local0 entry (pflog) -- logging is not done this way
anymore.

# 1.8 30-May-2001 deraadt

Remove ipf. Darren Reed has interpreted his (old, new, whichever)
licence in a way that makes ipf not free according to the rules we
established over 5 years ago, at www.openbsd.org/goals.html (and those
same basic rules govern the other *BSD projects too). Specifically,
Darren says that modified versions are not permitted. But software
which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all (be they
people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it, including
modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby mulching
machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia. Furthermore, we
know of a number of companies using ipf with modification like us, who
are now in the same situation, and we hope that some of them will work
with us to fill this gap that now exists in OpenBSD (temporarily, we
hope).
