A question about message size

Hi Rainer,

Now I am running latest V3 stable (3.18.4) on my company production
machine. We couldn't upgrade to >=3.21.4 to get the benefit of dynamic
setting MESSAGE size due to company policy.

But we need 4K for message size not 2K by default. So I changed MAXLINE
definition in syslogd.h from 2048 to 4096.

Is it correct? And do we have any other solutions with 3.18.4 ?

Many thanks,

Yes, that's right and that's the only solution for v3-stable.

I haven't merged that change into the stable branch because, among all
of the changes done, this one is among those with the greatest potential
to break things. You do not want to have that in v3-stable (just to note
that backporting it is definitely not a good idea ;)).
