I agree the PC-DOS-Windows industry has bastardised  the concept of a
syslog daemon.

Syslog-ng IS the Linux system log daemon, however  it performs function
in much the same way as a Mainframe  Daemon works and depending on my
audience I have to be very specific with the reference 'syslog daemon'
due its multiple meanings.

If I had a big enough business I would always go for a Main Frame and
rock solid O/S in lieu of a blade server and clustering despite the O/S.

I still have issues with insecure comms that we use every day in the
form of the collection TCP/IP. SNA forever

Keep smiling
