Sam Hartman (IETF Security Area Director) has rejected the syslog-protocol draft due to missing support in the last IETF meeting. I do not yet know which new non-concensus turned up. I fear it is an re-iteration of arguments already exchanged. I am very curios to have a look at the minutes. Anyhow, if it is yet another re-iteration, I seriously begin to doubt if that activity makes any sense at all… Maybe it is a much better idea just to create some simple TCP-based syslog format, talk to the other implementors… and do it ;)
