I have now pushed a rewrite of "tests/syslogd.sh". It is also possible
to use it as a replacement in inetutils-1.9 and inetutils-1.9.1. There
is a full implementation of TMPDIR sensing with due value quoting.
The test script works correctly with a SVR4 Bourne shell as found in
OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, in addition to have been tested with bash,
dash, mksh, pdksh, and busybox-ash.

A message from NixOS as to the suitability of this modification would
be most welcome.
