networking & syslogd.c

[Robin Getz]

I was trying to compile a kernel without networking support (to reduce 
space), and noticed that

busybox/sysklogd/syslogd.c:doSyslogd() has:

=========
if ((sock_fd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0) {
      bb_perror_msg_and_die("Couldn't get file descriptor for socket "
                                                    _PATH_LOG);
}
==========

Without networking compiled into the kernel, syslogd dies. Does that make 
sense? I didn't think that you would need a networking driver (dummy or 
otherwise) to have local system logging.

Thanks
