I really didn't see anywhere where the current behavior on a SIGHUP is too precisely noted. All syslogd(8) says is, The syslogd daemon reads its configuration file when it starts up and whenever it receives a hangup signal. Seems odd to over emphisize this one little aspect of a syslogd(8) reload. I think that this would be what people would expect. IMHO, the old behavior was buggy. I plan on doing some more syslogd(8) work. I'll look at the manpages as a whole during that time. -- Crist J.
