Re-4: Soekris net4501 & syslogd

[openbsd@sybrespace.de]

This sure would be a nice thing and at home (where it should later be located) I already have a syslog host which is able to receive. But same problem: no log input there. The other problem is that it has to function without one as I have to present it to my boss and it would be easier to to some debugging of the ppp-problem. At the moment I can't debug ppp without knowing exactly why it doesn't work. But its log is /var/log/daemon and there we are back at the syslog problem :(
