Description Harald Schmalzbauer 2015-01-06 16:56:42 UTC 
Created attachment 151400 [details]
Add "syslogd_altlog_proglist" for rc.conf

When bind left base, altlog_proglist="named" was removed in r257694 (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/etc/rc.d/syslogd?view=patch&r1=257694&r2=257693&pathrev=257694).

For the past-bind-epoch, this simple attached patch makes syslogd_precmd() containing less dead code ;-)

I've ever since used syslogd_altlog_proglist in my rc.conf to get syslog socket for chrooted daemons like isc-dhcp and bind (with a slightly different patch).
This is a nice thing to have, IMHO.
Comment 1 Harald Schmalzbauer 2015-01-06 17:22:24 UTC 
Sorry, I missed that r257694 also added altlog_proglist="" to defaults/rc.conf.
So "Bug 196546" is not relevant anymore!
