cebe53b7e3 Greg Whynott <greg@fqdn.com> informed us about an obsolete URL. I
found the new location and exchanged it.

c6edf85cd6 . Removed kernel.patch since it is no longer required
. Changed SOCK_STREAM to SOCK_DGRAM in syslog.c

 . klogd will only change the console log level if `-c' is supplied

 . syslogd.c by Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>

   Um, if the directory is invalid, the bind() call in
   create_unix_socket fails. Without the return -1, we return the
   invalid fd that we just closed.  When syslogd then starts
   listening, select goes into a hard loop getting EBADF, IIRC.

 . klogd.c by Troels Walsted Hansen <troels@thule.no>

   I found a bug in the sysklogd package version 1.4. When it
   encounters a zero byte in the kernel logging output, the text
   parser enters a busy loop. I came upon it when the 3c59x driver
   from kernel 2.4.0 started outputting two zero bytes for the product
   code of my laptop's 3Com card. It could be argued that the kernel
   should never output zero bytes in the logging info, but obviously
   that will happen from time to time.

   I fear this bug might be considered a security issue as well, if
   the kernel can be coerced to output a zero byte somehow, all kernel
   logging will stop.

   Wolfgang Oertl <Wolfgang.Oertl@uibk.ac.at> had a similar bugfix
   idea

 . klogd.c by Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>

   Additionally, the patch prevents LogLine from being invoked with a
   negative counter as an argument.

68b50092c7 * ``-m 0'' turns off -- MARK -- now. (closes: Bug#28629, Bug#31494)
* Changed Greg's e-mail address to represent his current one.
  * Shortened line length for kernel logging slightly.
  * Corrected return value of AddModule (closes: Bug#30093)
  * Finally fixed an error with `-a' processing, thanks to Topi Miettinen
    <tom@medialab.sonera.net> (closes: Bug#30462)

2b70a699f1 * Re-Applied patch provided vom Topi Miettinen with regard to the people
from OpenBSD.  This provides the additional '-a' argument used for
    specifying additional UNIX domain sockets to listen to.  This is been
    used with chroot()'ed named's for example.  An example is described at
    http://www.psionic.com/papers/dns.html.  This time the patch doesn't
    stall syslogd.  Thanks to Topi Miettinen <tom@medialab.sonera.net>
    (closes: Bug#24893)

3acc6c3a40 * Reverted support for multiple Unix domain sockets since it caused
syslogd to not accept more sockets after a certain (undefinitve)
    time.  (opens: Bug#24893)
  * The complete code is still present, search for `Bug#24893'
  * Commented out `-a' in the syslogd.8 manpage

1f3d627188 * Fixed typos in syslogd-listfiles(1), thanks to Francesco Potorti`
<F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it> (closes: Bug#20903)
  * Corrected email address for Shane Alderton (closes: Bug#20765)
  * Fixed manpage to not reflect reverse implementated SIGALRM signal
    handler (closes: Bug#20647)
  * Modified behaviour with including <sys/module.h> (closes: Bug#20556)
  * Added correct prototype for llseek() (closes: Bug#20507, Bug#20220)
  * Added more log information if problems occurr while reading a system
    map file.
  * Modified System.map read function to try all possible map files until
    a file with matching version is found.
  * Added Debian release to klogd
  * Switched to fgets() as gets() is not buffer overrun secure.
  * Modified loop for detecting the correct system map.

  * Added note to mailing list
