Hello All,
I am looking to modify number of facilities available in syslog so
that for my application I can have much more array of them at disposal
of my need. So currently only LOG_LOCAL0 - LOG_LOCAL7 are defined for
user, what if I want to extend them, is there a way I can extend them.
Or should I go ahead and modify the source code of syslog. Can any
please point me in right direction and where can I get syslogd and
syslog source code. Thanks in advance.

you would be creating a completely different over-the-wire protocol for
your syslog messages.
however, note that newer syslog daemons (syslog-ng and rsyslog for
example) allow you to do filtering on just about anything in the message,
not just the facility and severity.
