https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D166255 --- Comment #26 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster@bsdforge.com> --- (In reply to eugen from comment #25) > Default system behaviour is not changed. Reboot is required to disable > logging after a change to loader.conf. So, no patching should be required= to > stay safe. I understand that. I also agree with you that syslog(3) is not an ideal option, either. But as it stands, this new "switch" is still a security risk -- it opens a potential "backdoor", however unlikely some feel it might be. I'm just not sure that the need, outweighs the risk. Is there /really/ no other possible solution. Must a decision on this be made right now? Or could more time be given, in hopes a better solution might be found? Lastly, I know status of this bug is essentially "closed", and I apologize for responding so late. I would have responded earlier. But I was sure a patch in this direction, would have been rejected. --Chris --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
