>Description:
The sysutils/msyslog port uses old deprecated unix socket
for logging. The new FreeBSD standard is /var/run/log .
while msysutils still uses /dev/log.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to start syslogd of msyslogd.
Error is reported on startup of syslogd of msyslog:
Aug 4 13:43:10 csoki.ki.iif.hu don't use _PATH_UNIX: Jan 0 00:00:00 syslogd: cannot create /dev/log: Operation not supported
try to log via logger. No log will appear...
>Fix:
The DEFAULT_LOGGER in src/modules/im_unix.c should be updated
to /var/run/log
