* Make the default kernel prefix "kernel:" instead of the boot file,Dima Dorfman2001-11-271-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with the old behavior available via the -o option (it might still be useful if one has many kernels and cares which messages came from which). If the boot file is not used as the prefix, it is still logged once at startup. This change is prompted by the fact that the boot file is now much longer ("/boot/kernel/kernel" vs. "/kernel"), which significanlty bloats the syslogd output.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | found that my syslogd is now running them for several months... Add an option to syslogd to restrict the IP addresses that are allowed to log to this syslogd. It's too late to develop the inter-syslogd communications protocol mentioned in the BUGS section, some 10 years too late. Thus, restricting the IP address range is about the most effective change we can do if we want to allow incoming syslog messages at all. IMHO, we should encourage the system administrators to use this option, and thus provide a knob in /etc/rc.* for it, defaulting to -a 127.0.0.1/32 (just as a hint about the usage). Please state opinions about whether to merge this change into 2.2 or not (i've got it running on RELENG_2_2 anyway). Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=25437
