To bring the syslogd shipped with Solaris up to a level that is
more in line with what is found in other systems today, I'd like
to propose a project to upgrade it.
Tasks currently scoped out for this project include:
- introduce some of the more modern aspects of syslog.conf such as the
use of '*' and '!'
- filling out the list of facilities defined where there is common
usage of undefined ones in the opensource community
- implement the IETF TLS transport mapping for syslog
- supporting explicit IPv6 destinations
- adding support for specifying extra log devices
I'd like to see the syslog files be structured (binary) files. For
backwards compatability they'd have different pathnames and the
current pathnames would either be the existing random ascii
expansion of those records (duplicating storage) or some
cunning overlay filesystem which rewrites the contents of
the binary log in random ascii (along the lines of mntfs).
What problem does this solve ?
We already have binary audit files that "BSM" audit creates and for
Solaris 10 added the ability to export them in XML.
