6.51. Sysklogd-1.4.1

The following patch fixes various issues, including a problem building Sysklogd with Linux 2.6 series kernels:

patch -Np1 -i ../sysklogd-1.4.1-fixes-1.patch

The following patch makes sysklogd treat bytes in the 0x80--0x9f range literally in the messages being logged, instead of replacing them with octal codes. Unpatched sysklogd would damage messages in the UTF-8 encoding:

patch -Np1 -i ../sysklogd-1.4.1-8bit-1.patch

Compile the package:

make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Install the package:

make install
