>Unless, you get rid of UDP totally for a transport for log messages >(completely destroying backward syslog compatibility), Farg backwards compatibility. A logging system that uses unreliable delivery mechanisms is not worth using. See some of my early postings in this list regarding syslog/UDP and data dropping under load to get an idea how truly bad UDP syslog is. Then ask yourself, "who'd want to be backward compatible to _that_?" mjr. (NOTE: on Wed/Thursday I lost my entire day's email. If you sent me a reply to my "token list" posting I probably lost it.) --- Marcus J.
