It appears that the syslogger does a link (ln -s) from /var/run/log

you can set it in the base system's version of the jail file
system. I don't know if it stays around after reboots or what and
what the effect is -- probably m akes jail messages go into its own
log file but I have not done more than make the link and try to
google (without a lot of success) on the issue
syslogd -l can set up additional logging sockets:
-l Specify a location where syslogd should place an
additional log
socket. The primary use for this is to place
additional log
sockets in /var/run/log of various chroot filespaces.
File per-
missions for socket can be specified in octal
representation
before socket name, delimited with a colon. Path to
socket loca-
tion must be absolute.
If you are using jails, I would gather that you normally would be
running a separate syslogd within that jail, but this approach
provides another option...
