The most important improvements will be an extended message format, TLS network transport, and digital signatures. I hope these new functions will later be ported to benefit all BSD variants (as their syslogds are similar). So everyone interested is invited to take a look at the project pages now and then. Naturally any feedback is welcome. The official project's homepage is at http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/syslogd/ and for developing I maintain a Trac at http://barney.cs.uni-potsdam.de/trac/syslogd/ -- Martin
