Syslog open handle

Description:
This patch was added because sshd keeps an open handle on the syslog file. So every connection made spawns off a sshd process with an open file handle. This was discovered on IRIX machines where there is a limit on the number of open file handles on the syslog file (152). So after 150 or so users were connected to a machine nothing could open the syslog for logging. All this patch does is every time something is needed to be logged it opens the syslog and then closes it after logging.
