I certainly wasn't trying to impose syslog on people, but I know I've seen discussions about patching radiusd or writing rlm's to do syslog previously on the mailing lists, so obviously people *want* to do this. I'd be happy to make some changes to it if it would help get it accepted, but if what I'm hearing is "no freakin' way" then I'll just maintain the patch seperately.
I'd be much happier if the syslog functionality was in a separate module, that didn't touch the "detail" module. The functionality is really quite separate, even if there is some overlap in the code. I'd be OK with adding a "rlm_syslog" to the server, especially if it could log authentication success/fail, etc. in place of what's currently in the server core. The current syslog functionality is pretty bad, so replacing it with a module is a big win. Alan DeKok.
