+Some error messages are (unfortunately by design). The ones down here are known and not likely to be fixed.

+== syslogd ==
+{{{
+Aug  4 10:57:19  syslogd: hostname nor servname provided, or not known: Invalid argument

+Cause: Sylog configured to log remotely, see:

+But remote host {{{loghost.wleiden.net}}} is not found in DNS.
+Possible fix: Creation and maintenance of {{{/etc/hosts}}} file for critical startup services
+== ntpdate ==

+Setting date via ntp.

+}}}
+Cause: ntpdate configured to to use remote ip which cannot be reached, resolved on initial sync as routing is not active yet:

+Not configured to listen on any interfaces!

+Cause: Fixed setting of sysctl (distance timeout hack/tweak) of ath cards which might not exist in the system.

+Possible fix: write wrapper script to actively check for existence before enabling or hack ath driver to make a always existing default sysctl option available
