sysklogd

I recently had the opportunity to use the sysklogd project, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed by the functionality that it offers. The sysklogd project is designed to provide kernel and system logging daemons, and it achieves this goal flawlessly.

One of the standout features of this package is the implementation of two system log daemons. The first of these is the syslogd daemon, which is an enhanced version of the standard Berkeley utility program. This daemon is responsible for providing logging of messages received from programs and facilities on the local host, as well as from remote hosts. This means that you can easily keep track of all the events happening on your system, no matter where they are coming from.

The second daemon offered by the sysklogd project is the klogd daemon. This daemon listens to kernel message sources and is responsible for prioritizing and processing operating system messages. Like syslogd, klogd can run as a client of syslogd or as a standalone program. Additionally, klogd can now be used to decode EIP addresses if it can determine a System.map file. This functionality makes it much easier to understand what is happening on your system at any given time.

Overall, I would highly recommend the sysklogd project to anyone who is in need of a reliable and efficient system logging solution. Whether you are a developer, sysadmin, or just someone who wants to keep a close eye on their system, the sysklogd project has got you covered.
