Ok, here's one: I'm having a problem with syslogd - due to the upper
heirarchy, we've started logging our (*yuck*) Windows servers to our
centralized logging server, and so far, the other admin hasn't managed to
make WinBlows less than maximum verbosity. I know I can do filtering with
syslog-ng and rsyslog, but 5.5 has syslogd. Now, I *thought* I heard one
or the other of those other two was coming in, but thought it would be in
CentOS 5.x; can anyone tell me a) if the change is coming, b) which of the
two it'll be, and c) will it be in 5.6 or 6?
