Did I say that? Please. I am not stupid. I NEVER said anything about all
kind of daemons. I will end up getting insulted if you keep trying to read
such things between my lines. I am very aware of the amount of danger on
running stuff as root, especially when they do not need it.
I want the LOGGING daemons (i.e. only syslog and klogd), which ALREADY run
as root, to be restarted should they die. Due to OOM killer, due to
segfaults. Whatever.
Stop preaching to the choir.
