Of course, syslogd creates the /dev/log socket when it starts up,
and destroys it when it shuts down. /dev/log has been hanging around
because /dev here is flagged sappnd. kern.securelevel is at 1, so I
can't remove sappnd without dropping into single user first. Argh!
I didn't think anything had to be deleted out of /dev... wouldn't
/dev/log be better off in /var/run or something like that?
