Symptoms:
	PHCO_20440:
	1. New options added to syslogd.
	     a. do not suppress duplicate messages.
	     b. do not listen to the syslog socket.
	2. Syslogd stops forwarding messages after
	   any error in calling sendto(2).
	3. Syslogd reports error when messages are sent with
	   the facilities CRON, UUCP, or NEWS (see 3C openlog).

	PHCO_14599:
	1. syslogd incorrectly removes /var/run/syslog.pid file.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_20440:

	1. Syslogd did not have options to allow
	   it to:
	     a. not listen on the syslog port
	     b. not supress duplicate messages.
	Resolution:
	   Added two new options ('r','N').
	   'r' : Option to not suppressing duplicate messages.
	   'N' : Option to not listen to the syslog socket.

	2. Syslogd closes the socket descriptor whenever sendto(2)
	   returns with an error. This causes syslogd to stop
	   forwarding messages.
	Resolution:
	   Syslogd is now changed to log an error message if
	   the call to sendto(2) returns an errno of EHOSTUNREACH
	   and to not close the socket.

	3. The facilities for CRON ,NEWS and UUCP are not
	   supported by syslogd(1M)
	Resolution:
	   The NEWS, UUCP, and CRON facilities are now
	   supported.

	PHCO_14599:
	1. syslogd incorrectly removes /var/run/syslog.pid file
	   This happens every time alert message is sent to syslogd
	   deamon.
	Resolution:
	   Call to unlink() is removed when alert message comes.
