Re: remotely kill solaris syslogd

 ./syslogd_kill <ip-with-no-DNS> <victim IP>

Kind of wild if you feed it a subnet broadcast address as the <victim IP>.

I wouldn't try that lightly if you don't have access to restart
all the dead syslogd's on all Solaris boxes on that wire.

At least that's what happened to me running 2.5.1 and 2.5 with
various patch revs, but none with 103738-04.

Excuse me, I have to restart a few syslogd's and apply some patches.
