Program file descriptions

klogd

klogd is a system daemon which intercepts and logs Linux kernel messages.

syslogd provides the kind of logging that many modern programs use. Every logged message contains at least a time and a hostname field and, normally, a program name field, too. But that depends on how trusty the logging program is.
