logerror is used in syslogd to log errors from syslogd itself. It

2003-11-16T21:51:06+00:00

is possible for an error to occur while trying to log an error, and
this can result in infinite recursion (or at least until we run out
of stack).

Rather than this, we ignore requests to log an error while logging an
error.

Cleanup hostname matching in syslogd:

2003-05-04T22:05:40+00:00

1. Hostnames were not treated case insensitively in all cases.

2. The method for stripping hostnames when reading the syslog.conf
   differed from that when finding the hostname of an incoming request.
   This lead to a broken match check.  In my case, it meant I had to
   have '@scooter.smi.example.com.example.com' to have 'logger.example.com'
   properly save messages from 'scooter.smi.sendmail.com'.

3. Add paranoia to cfline() such that it doesn't try to access memory
   outside of the bounds of the f_host string.

4. While I am here, get rid of an outdated comment, argv[{0,1,2}] are now
   checked for NULL after the strdup() calls.
