Description Janos Mohacsi 2003-08-04 13:40:09 UTC 
	The sysutils/msyslog port uses old deprecated unix socket
	for logging. The new FreeBSD standard is /var/run/log .
	while msysutils still uses /dev/log.

Fix: 

The DEFAULT_LOGGER in src/modules/im_unix.c should be updated 
	to /var/run/log
How-To-Repeat: 	Try to start syslogd of msyslogd.

	Error is reported on startup of syslogd of msyslog:
		
Aug  4 13:43:10 csoki.ki.iif.hu don't use _PATH_UNIX: Jan  0 00:00:00  syslogd: cannot create /dev/log: Operation not supported

	try to log via logger. No log will appear...

I've given up maintaining msyslog. Sorry for that and the unneccessary 
waiting for me. :-(
