I found this in the release notes:

	"syslogd(8)       Removed references to /dev/klog."

The "syslogd" man page mentions the "kern" facility.  What did Encore 
change besides the man page?  "syslogd -d" complains "can't open /dev/klog".
I have this in /etc/syslog.conf:

	kern.debug                      /var/log/messages
      
How do you log kernel level messages to a file? I want to avoid the
dmesg cruftyness.

	Thanks
