Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 00/11] Add namespace support for syslog
Date: Wed, 07 Aug 2013 00:55:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <878v0evssv.fsf@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1375861035-24320-1-git-send-email-rui.xiang-hv44wF8Li93QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org> (Rui Xiang's message of "Wed, 7 Aug 2013 15:37:04 +0800")


Since this still has not been addressed.  I am going to repeat Andrews
objection again.

Isn't there a better way to get iptables information out than to use
syslog.  I did not have time to follow up on that but it did appear that
someone did have a better way to get the information out.

Essentially the argument against this goes.  The kernel logging facility
is really not a particularly good tool to be using for anything other
than kernel debugging information, and there appear to be no substantial
uses for a separate syslog that should not be done in other ways.

That design objection must be addressed before merging this code can be
given serious consideration.

Eric
