More important are any log statements that actually use the root or
allusers destinations. Are there any? I was thinking of installing
FreeBSD tonight anyways (unrelated project) - if I do I'll mess with the
syslog-ng port and see what I find.

So unleash your nmap-from-hell and beware, you may tickle an obscure
bug in an ancient box hand-built by Seymour Cray himself, the only one
of its kind ever made, whose sole user pays the salaries of everyone
you ever met in the entire time you worked at the company, with money
he makes with an investment strategy hand-coded in assembler for this
special machine, by an analytic wizard who has since died.
