For various reasons I'm trying to run some daemons in a chrooted
environment.  I seem to have everything set up properly to allow
them to run; but the log info they send via syslog are lost.  I
assume this is because syslog is trying to connect via the unix
domain socket, which doesn't exist in the chrooted environment.
Is there any way to force it to use the inet domain socket instead?
Failing that, do any of you know of any other way for me to handle
this?

I have considered spawning another syslog daemon in the chrooted
environment, and directing it to forward everything to loghost;
but I'd rather avoid that if possible - I expect to have several
distinct chroot environments and really don't want a syslog process
for each one...



Thanks,
-Pat
