Re: /dev/urandom | logger "issue"

Even if you added user logging when the logger program is run, what
keeps someone from opening /dev/log and forging thier messages that way?

I'm not 100% on how syslog works. Does a daemon write to /dev/log or to a
unix socket to log?

<kosh> Yes. </kosh>

Seriously, /dev/log usually is a UNIX socket.
