sysklogd (1.3-31) frozen unstable; urgency=low, closes=28629 30093 31494 30462

  * ``-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)

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Tue, 19 Jan 1999 23:56:07 +0100

sysklogd (1.3-30) unstable; urgency=low, closes=28128 28122 24893

  * Contains more patches from Topi Miettinen.
  * Fixed two mistakes from the most recent version
  * Fixed fd leak problem.  Thanks to Topi for detecting it
  * Ouch!  Looks like the released package again is broken.  It worked
    locally.

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Sun, 18 Oct 1998 20:38:22 +0200

sysklogd (1.3-29) unstable; urgency=low, closes=24893

  * 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)

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Sat, 17 Oct 1998 20:23:00 +0200

sysklogd (1.3-28) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added manpage for syslog-facility, also written by Raphal Hertzog 
  * 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

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Thu, 15 Oct 1998 19:35:26 +0200

sysklogd (1.3-27) frozen unstable; urgency=low, closes=21212 11917 21606 24609 25835 26015 24648 20135 23502 24893 24894

  * Postinst will create files with correct file modes (closes: Bug#21212)
  * Made /dev/xconsole mode 0640 and root.adm (closes: Bug#11917)
  * Changed priority of exit message from LOG_ERR to LOG_INFO (closes
    Bug#21606)
  * The code now is compilable without SYSLOG_INET again.  Thanks to
    Enrik Berkhan <enrik@rzstud1.akk.org>.
  * Added support for TESTING define which will turn syslogd into
    stdio-mode used for debugging.
  * Reworked the initialization/fork code.  Now the parent
    process activates a signal handler which the daughter process will
    raise if it is initialized.  Only after that one the parent process
    may exit.  Otherwise klogd might try to flush its log cache while
    syslogd can't receive the messages yet. (closes: Bug#24609)
  * Fixed typo in /etc/syslog.conf (closes: Bug#25835)
  * Modified pre- and postinst scripts to set +e before executing external
    scripts.  This is a workaround against a bug in bash (Bug#23857).
    Bash exports the errexit (-e) flag if allexport (-a) has been set. The
    bug occurs even if allexport is being _re_set.  (closes: Bug#26015)
  * Modified ksym::CheckVersion()
    . Use shift to decode the kernel version
    . Compare integers of kernel version
    . extract major.minor.patch from utsname.release via sscanf()
    The reason lays in possible use of kernel flavours which modify
    utsname.release but no the Version_ symbol.  (closes: Bug#20135)
  * Corrected klogd.c in order to support the new address space for late
    2.1 kernels.  Some support for unsigned long in contrary to int was
    missing.  (closes: Bug#23502)
  * 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.  Thanks to Topi Miettinen
    <tom@medialab.sonera.net> (closes: Bug#24893)
  * Added support for `ftp' log facility which was introduced by glibc
    version 2.  Thanks to netgod and Flood from #Debian.
  * Code cleanups with regard to bsd -> posix transition and stronger
    security (buffer length checking).  Thanks to Topi Miettinen
    <tom@medialab.sonera.net> (closes: Bug#24894)
    . index() --> strchr()
    . sprintf() --> snprintf()
    . bcopy() --> memcpy()
    . bzero() --> memset()
    . UNAMESZ --> UT_NAMESIZE
    . sys_errlist --> strerror()
  * Added support for setutent()/getutent()/endutend() instead of binary
    reading the UTMP file.  This is the the most portable way.  Thanks to
    Topi Miettinen <tom@medialab.sonera.net>.
  * Avoid logging of SIGCHLD when syslogd is in the process of exiting and
    closing its files.  Again thanks to Topi.
  * Added /usr/sbin/syslog-facility, written by Raphal Hertzog
    <hertzog@debian.org>.  It opens a way for other packages to add and
    remove logfiles/facilities.
  * Modified printline() to support 8bit characters - such as russion
    letters.  Thanks to Vladas Lapinskas <lapinskas@mail.iae.lt>.

sysklogd (1.3-26) frozen unstable; urgency=low, closes=20903 20765 20556 20507 20647 20220

  * 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.

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Thu, 16 Apr 1998 19:28:05 +0200

    let klogd work togther with >2GB address space.

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Thu, 19 Mar 1998 23:56:09 +0100

 -- Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>  Wed, 25 Feb 1998 13:19:27 +0100

	* syslogd.c: If you haven't set your domainname, syslogd will dump
	core upon startup.  Fixed.  Thanks to Leeland Lucius
	<llucius@millcomm.com> for reporting and patching it. (Bug#3526)

	* ksyms.c: increased the size of vstring, because since Linux
	major versions are decoded with n * 65536 and we now have 2.0, the
	field was too short.

Tue May 28 01:02:01 1996  Martin Schulze  <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>

	* syslogd.c: Corrected behaviour of blocking pipes - i.e. the
	whole system hung.  Michael Nonweiler <mrn20@hermes.cam.ac.uk> has
	sent us a patch to correct this.  A new logfile type F_PIPE has
	been introduced.

	* postinst: added a killall to remove an existing syslogd.  It
	could exist because of Bug#2836.

Sun May 12 13:36:55 1996  Martin Schulze  <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>

	* removed auth.* from /dev/xconsole

	* klogd won't log old messages anymore (Bug#2337)
	I have applied the patch from Chris Hanson.

	* I have put another start-stop-daemon call in the startup script
	so the configs are reloaded on startup. This should
	help. (Bug#2552)

	* Sysklogd takes care of this and createst /dev/xconsole if it
	doesn't exist during installation. (Bug#2683)

	* I have corrected permissions of /dev/xconsole. (Bug#2837)

	* defined /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd as a conffile (Bug#2950, Bug#2960)

	* introduced two binary packages: syslogd and sysklogd which
	exclude each other
