Or add the syslog >functionality to the new program. Thanks. How much larger is the object-file for the no-login port compared to this minimal one? (particularly now that /sbin is dynamically linked). If Wes wants to import no-login, the syslog capability certainly seems worth a few extra bytes to me. And it seems reasonable to go with code which people have already been using for some time now. This would have been much more of a bikeshed back when it would have been comparing a sh-script to a statically-linked binary, but it doesn't seem like much of one now.
