Regarding PID/UID/GID logging: if it has to use a Linux-specific feature to be less broken in that regard, then I'm all for it. In my opinion, authentication is such an important security feature that other Unices should just implement similar mechanisms (or, preferably, the same mechanism). Right now I've only seen the BSD people complaining that systemd uses Linux-specific features, but doing nothing to solve the problem. Regarding central logging: indeed, that is a problem. Has Lennart ever spoken about this issue?
