Hi,

I just used the example program to see if any OPEN/CLOSE events occur when 
syslog writes to the messages. It does not. Apparently syslog (at least 
syslogd) keeps an open handle to the log files and does not open and close 
the file with each log entry.

Since Dazuko only reacts to open and close events, it is not suitable for 
this type of application.

Dazuko could be modified to signal sys_write events, but this would cause 
enormous overhead for the system.
