I agree that encryption and tcp (reliable) transport of logs should be a must for syslogd in FreeBSD. It's going to be interesting how things with Lennart's 'journald' play out -- without defining an industry standard for how messages are presented and categorized, I predict that things will turn into a mess (I could be proved wrong, but given past experience, this is how things evolve unless framework adoption lags standardization).
