From: Bill Trost <trost@cloud.rain.com> Subject: syslogd as root? So -- why do I want syslogd to be capable of completely filling the disk? So that syslogd can continue to warn you of security or other critical problems (like your disk is full) after a user has filled up the disk to hose over your logs. It's certainly possible to protect syslogd from spamming, which is an orthoganal issue left up to the administration of an individual site.
