https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D166255 --- Comment #24 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster@bsdforge.com> --- (In reply to eugen from comment #21) > (In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #20) >=20 > You are essentially proposing the system to spend CPU time generating tons > of messages, pass them from the kernel to userland daemon using socket > subsystem and then spend more CPU time to filter them. Instead of just not > doing that all in expense of single extra tunnable. I'd just like to go on record as indicating that this is a security related issue, and one would *want* to know about it. In the rare case that this is *not* true. syslog(3) should be asked to deal with it. Has secteam@ weighed in on this? But given this bug has been closed, those of us whom are opposed to this change, will simply need to add a local patch to reverse it. Thank you for your indulgence. --Chris --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
