Don't you all love it when I'm revamping my class?
Surely one of the most common errors for newbies configuring syslog is to
use blank spaces instead of tabs in syslog.conf. When that happens,
syslog variously fails to start because it can't parse the file, or starts
but refuses to accept any data.
Why the *bleep* can't it be civilized and write a message to the damn
system log? Or to the console? Or to its own special logfile?
[Okay, I suppose maybe it can't write to the system log cos it's not
running, although just sticking another line in /var/log/messages doesn't
seem >that< tough...]
*sigh*
