/*
* glibc problem: for some reason, glibc changes LOG_KERN to LOG_USER
* above. The logic behind this is that standard
* http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/syslog.html
* says the following about openlog and syslog:
* "LOG_USER
* Messages generated by arbitrary processes.
* This is the default facility identifier if none is specified."
*
* I believe glibc misinterpreted this text as "if openlog's
* third parameter is 0 (=LOG_KERN), treat it as LOG_USER".
* Whereas it was meant to say "if *syslog* is called with facility
* 0 in its 1st parameter without prior call to openlog, then perform
* implicit openlog(LOG_USER)".
*
* As a result of this, eh, feature, standard klogd was forced
* to open-code its own openlog and syslog implementation (!).
*
* Note that prohibiting openlog(LOG_KERN) on libc level does not
* add any security: any process can open a socket to "/dev/log"
* and write a string "<0>Voila, a LOG_KERN + LOG_EMERG message"
*
* Google code search tells me there is no widespread use of
* openlog("foo", 0, 0), thus fixing glibc won't break userspace.
*
* The bug against glibc was filed:
* bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547000
