Description

This patch causes the logging of the list_of_clients and openit_client_info to be done by the logger
daemon. This prevents intermingling of the entries in the files, and avoids these files to become
corrupt.

By default, CLIENT_LIST is set to a path. Logging to list_of_clients can be turned off by setting

CLIENT_LIST off

in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg. Otherwise it should be set to the path of the output file. If not
set, list_of_clients will not be updated.

Logging to openit_client_info is active by default on newer versions of OpeniT. Logging to
openit_client_info can be turned off by setting

CLIENT_INFO off

in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg. Otherwise it should be set to the path of the output file. If not
set, /var/opt/openit/etc/openit_client_info will be updated. (Differs from the above, for backward
compatibility.)

Installation
