[SR-Users] How to not write logs to journald with kamailio

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

kamailio uses internally openlog() and syslog() functions from standard
libc. It has not control of what the syslog daemon does, it is a matter
of OS configuration, so what you mention might be the required
configuration, not a workaround. Anyhow, maybe others can comment more.

There are many other cases when the OS has to be tuned to get desired
behaviour, eg., increase file descriptor limits to handle lots of
connections.

Cheers,
Daniel
