Description Christopher Maynard 2016-01-21 21:39:18 UTC 
dhcpcd's dhcpcd-run-hooks.in:syslog()[1] expects logger to support the '-i' option.  It would be nice if busybox's logger supported it so dhcpcd's messages could be successfully logged.

From the logger man page[2]:

    -i     Log the PID of the logger process with each line.

Patch for bug #8626 add option -i to logger

Add option -i to logger and can be enabled/disabled in menuconfig.
Modifications are inspired by syslogd.c code.
(If something wrong then sorry I use bugzilla first time :-) .)
