Actually most systems have the same issue here and similar solutions.

Usually it is enough to open main system syslog socket (usually /dev/log)
before chroot, and logging will Just Work if syslogd is not restarted.
Only for the latter case one (usually) needs additional configuration
on the syslogd part, to create various additional sockets in various
chroot jails.

Is OpenBSD different in this aspect?  Will main /dev/log (or equivalent)
opened before chroot work after chroot, provided that syslogd is not
restarted?
