looks ok, one nitpick

this can fail and then log_ident = 0

if ident is longer than buf, then syslog will silently fail here,
but if ident is so big that strdup fails above it does not fail here

maybe we should limit ident to a sensible value and truncate it
(i dont know if posix allows that but seems more consistent
and then no dynamic allocation is needed in openlog)
