    No information is logged on "syslog_door"; it's just a door_call
    syslog clients perform to see whether the syslog daemon is alive.

    i.e., all you need to do is to have a door server alive on that
    particular door; it does not consume information; all information
    is then logged through /dev/sysmsg.
