Currently, the built in help for syslog module points users to http://www.rt.com/man/syslog.5.html, which returns a (funny) 404 page. My suggestion for a new link is to link to a Google search for the syslog.conf man page (which will always be up to date, assuming Google doesn't change their search arguments in their URLs) or to link to this one (which will more than likely need to be updated a few times in the not too distant future): http://linux.die.net/man/5/syslog.conf

My vote: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=syslog.conf

Per chx's advice in IRC, the patch removes the link to the online syslog manual page on the premise that anybody setting up syslog for their site will more than likely know how to do man syslog.conf. If they don't, the handbook page should be adequate.

I know this can not fail the bot but still. If the bot likes it I will RTBC.
