>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
