Well, for local daemons this is probably right though by default
/var/run/log socket is writtable by all users -> AFAIU any user application
may open it and add any syslog entries. But syslogd also accepts UDP
messages so that's not a local problem anymore :) [on the other hand, inet
access can be filtered]
