testers needed: msyslog final pre-release

[Alejo Sanchez <core_(_dot_)_lists_(_dot_)_openbsd-tech_(_at_)_core-sdi_(_dot_)_com>]

Hi,

We have the final pre-release of msyslog.
There are plenty of improvements, most
outstanding are:
* autoconf
* modules as dynamic libraries
* regex module for filtering and redirecting
* PosgreSQL module
* improved manpages
* sample development modules

The URL for download:
http://www.core-sdi.com/english/slogging/modular-dl.htm

We'd like to hear all possible feedback.

It was tested on OpenBSD 2.7 and OpenBSD 2.6, but
should work with earlier versions. It is based on
OpenBSD's syslogd. License is BSD-like.

Possible future improvements
- timer (already on testing phase)
  useful for checking remote connections (ie. keepalives)
- UDP hash protection and sequencing for better security
  on transporting logs. I'll latter support the upcomming
  secure syslog protocol (IETF)
- tcp or ssl (avoid lost messages due to collisions or
  intrudder genereted drops)
- anomaly detection module, probably based on SQL logs
  (ie. "disk full", or root login at strange hours)
- VCR on local and remote logs (as in ssyslog, but better)

any thoughts?

Cheers,
