Are you requesting this feature because you would like to change the list of configuration files without restarting SEC? If so, then you could also take advantage of SEC resource file which can be provided with an environment variable. As for changing syslog tag field dynamically for every message -- unfortunately, the openlog(3) C-library function sets the program name for all subsequent logging, so this means that connection to syslog would have to be reopened and closed for each call to syslog(3) function. I think there is no clean way to replace the program name string temporarily with something else, so I will have to investigate what would be the possible performance penalty of opening and closing connection to syslogd for each logging attempt. kind regards, risto
