after careful analysis, I concluded that it is OK to
place the current net.c/.h code under LGPL. Individual
contributor agreement is given and no sysklogd code
remains (see net.c for details).
just a fix but a change in the object model. Thanks to varmojfekoj for
providing the bug report, an initial fix and lots of good discussion
that lead to where we finally ended up.
- moved module loader from conf.c to module.c, where it belongs
- made the necessary plumbing to auto-load library modules
- upgraded debug system to include iRet in function exit message
- changed module interface so that instances need only to be supported by
output plugins (if we actually need them for input plugins, we can
always add it again...)
- milestone: first implementation of library modules (but do not get
unloaded on exit/hup so far)
- added $InputTCPServerAddtlFrameDelimiter config directive, which
enabeles to specify an additional, non-standard message delimiter
for processing plain tcp syslog. This is primarily a fix for the invalid
framing used in Juniper's NetScreen products. Credit to forum user
Arv for suggesting this solution.
- added $InputTCPServerInputName property, which enables a name to be
specified that will be available during message processing in the
inputname property. This is considered useful for logic that treats
messages differently depending on which input received them.
