The problem is that, particularly in the case of something like syslog.conf, you need to change the defaults, not just supplement them. Right now syslog has no concept of this (and changing the notation doesn't help without a complete rethink of the syslog.conf semantics). Worthwhile, but a lot of work for which nobody will be grateful (instead they will all complain that you changed the format of the file). -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
