Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.3-31
I'm too lazy to do this one myself now, so count it as a wishlist
item: syslogd should provide an easy way to run it without root
privileges.
The only actions which really require such privileges are binding to
the internet domain socket and creating the unix domain socket(s)
given on the command line.
These tasks can be done once and forever at a very early point in
syslogd's lifetime. In particular, they can happen _before_ the
actual init() routine is called.
System log files (and /var/log) could be donated to a special log
user, so opening or writing them won't require any special
privileges.
