    syslog daemons are very convenient, rsyslogd, for example, features
a lot of methods to dispatch/centralize logs on the LAN and perform
several other actions. It is very usefull in an environment with several
interoperating hosts. The pprinciple is to not write the log to a file
but use the syslog mechanism (socket and lock) and let the syslog daemon
(eg rsyslogd) manage the logs.
