On 30-Oct-98 John Nemeth spoke unto us all:
#  }     - run syslogd with the user options and -s option (no network)
#  }     - run netstart
#  }     - kill syslogd and run it again with just user options
#  
#       What happens if those critical filesystems are on NFS mounted
#  partitions?

Or even worse, you are like me, and:

a) /usr is nfs mounted
b) all syslog daemons send all data to a remote logging host, rather than log
   it locally.
