Hi,

I pushed the syslog bits along with a test as commit
d7113bb655ff80a868a9e624c913f9d23e6c63ad.  (I think already
world-readable files will remain world-readable though?)

The main remaining issue here is log files created by
‘fork+exec-command’.  We’ll have to address that in the Shepherd proper,
I think.
