Description: 
 klogd      - Kernel Logging Daemon
 sysklogd   - System Logging Daemon
Changes: 
 sysklogd (1.4.1-16ubuntu4) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * Make klogd run as normal user, split off the privileged task (reading
     /proc/kmsg)
   * klogd.c:
     - add option "-P file" to specify alternative kernel messages file
       (instead of /proc/kmsg)
     - added macro PIDFILE_DIR which is preferred over _PATH_VARRUN
   * Makefile: added macro KLOGD_DEFINES for allowing to specify PIDFILE_DIR
     (and other macros) without changing the Makefile
   * debian/rules: compile klogd to use pidfile in /var/run/klogd
   * postinst.klogd:
     - sleep a second after stopping the old klogd to avoid "klogd is already
       running" failures on restart
     - add/remove system user and group "klog"
   * postrm.klogd: remove system user and group "klog" on purge
   * debian/control: klogd now depends on adduser
   * debian/rc.klogd:
     - create klogd pid file in /var/run/klogd/ (klog-writeable directory)
     - create a klog-owned fifo /var/run/klogd/kmsg
     - start/stop a dd process (running as root) which pipes /proc/kmsg to
       /var/run/klogd/kmsg; this allows to run klogd entirely as user 'klogd'
     - replaced restarting by calls to stop and start
   * syslogd.c: added changelog entry for modifications of 1.4.1-16ubuntu2
