   Indeed. I had a set of patches at one time to compile SDSC syslog on
   FreeBSD, but i don't even remember how i solved - or not - the
   setutent() stuff. I remember also one problem i ought to solve
   regarding the kernel messages. Anyway, as the project seemed to stall
   at one point, and my free time was not going better either, i didn't
   pursued any effort. I even asked to remove the roadrunner (BEEP
   library) port, as it was discontinued.

   Anyway, I'd be happy to learn that SDSC syslog is back in the
   business, as it was a nice project at that time, and the authors were
   very responsive when i was boring them with my compile probs.
