Steve, I was hoping to have a shot at re-writing syslog this summer, there are a number of things I'd like to add to it such as authenticated and encrypted remote logging, an improved interface to the kernel which would allow categorisation of which part of the kernel the messages are coming from (e.g filesystem, *ipfw*, netinet etc) and whatever changes are necessary for it to be able to run as an unprivledged user.
