System: NetBSD polaris 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (POLARIS) #0: Thu Mar 26 13:17:18 MST 1998 root@polaris:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/POLARIS i386


>Description:
This patch is from current supped today.
timed gives an overly verbose syslog error when it detects it's link to a
remote host is down..  
Jul 30 01:38:59 polaris timed[2037]: /usr/src/usr.sbin/timed/timed/master.c 173: sendto 206.103.182.40: No route to host

This is a bit much.. Knowing the line number and source file hardly does the
user any good unless he has source code.. this really shouldn't be in my
syslog.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
run timed -M  then unplug a network cable.
	
>Fix:
If the user wants this much debugging, the trace facilities still provide it..
there is no reason to have such verbose debugging messages in the syslog code.
