[Linux-ha-dev] heartbeat always writes logs to system log for any configs

[DAIKI MATSUDA]

Thank you for replying.

For a few days I read the source code for understanding the behaviour
to write logs. And I got some questions.
0. Obviously the comment on ha.cf sample file is incorrect and
attached the patch file.(ha.cf.fix_comment.patch)
1. Maybe many people set not to write to system logs, because
heartbeat earns so many logs with logfacility none. I feel that it is
better that the default behaviour is not writing to system logs and
writing other files.
2. In spite of not using ha_logd, Heartbeat init script boot up it.
And ha_logd configuration file place is fixed. So, I add the
function.(ha_logd.init.patch)

Best Regards
MATSUDA, Daiki
