Re: [bug-inetutils] some suggestions to syslog.conf

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Now, let's consider program name selectors, and hostname specifications,
   like these:

        !ftpd
        *.*      /var/log/spoolerr
        +hostname
        *.*      /var/log/hostname

   I agree that these have nothing to do with preprocessing and must be
   implemented in syslogd itself. Such features are quite often needed
   and we should definitely add them to our TODO list.

I think the proper solution is to use guile as a extention language,
the syntax for syslog.conf is very limiting, and would cause
incompatibilities with other versions of syslog.
