dnsd: remove statics, remove nerly-useless SIGINT handler
crond: correct more of logfile to 0666 (as usual, umask allows
 user to remove unwanted bits).
nameif: print errors to stderr too, not just to syslog

+	Logging and backgrounding
+
+By default, bb_[p]error_msg[_and_die] messages go to stderr,
+and of course, usually applets do not auto-background. :)
+
+Historically, daemons and inetd services are different.
+
+Busybox is trying to provide compatible behavior, thus if an applet
+is emulating an existing utility, it should mimic it. If utility
+auto-backgrounds itself, busybox applet should do the same.
+If utility normally logs to syslog, busybox applet should do
+the same too.
+
+However, busybox should not needlessly restrict the freedom
+of the users. And users have different needs and different preferences.
+Some might like logging everything from daemons to syslog.
+Others prefer running stuff under runsv/svlogd and thus would like
+logging to stderr and no daemonization.
+
+To help with that, busybox applets should have options to override
+default behavior, whatever that is for a given applet.
+
+
+Current sutiation is a bit of a mess:
+
+acpid - auto-backgrounds unless -d
+crond - auto-backgrounds unless -f, logs to syslog unless -d or -L.
+    option -d logs to stderr, -L FILE logs to FILE
+devfsd - (obsolete)
+dnsd - option -d makes it auto-background and log to syslog
+fakeidentd - inetd service. Auto-backgrounds and logs to syslog
+    if no -f and no -i and no -w (-i is "inetd service" flag,
+    -w is "inetd-wait service" flag)
+ftpd - inetd service. Logs to syslog always, with -v logs to strerr too
+httpd - auto-backgrounds unless -f or -i
+    (-i is "inetd service" flag)
+inetd - auto-backgrounds unless -f, logs to syslog unless -e
+klogd - auto-backgrounds unless -n
+syslogd - auto-backgrounds unless -n
+telnetd - auto-backgrounds unless -f or -i
+    (-i is "inetd service" flag)
+udhcpc - auto-backgrounds unless -f after lease is obtained,
+    option -b makes it background sooner (when lease attempt
+    fails and retries start),
+    after backgrounding it stops logging to stderr;
+    logs to stderr, but option -S makes it log *also* to syslog
+udhcpd - auto-backgrounds and do not log to stderr unless -f,
+    otherwise logs to stderr, but option -S makes it log *also* to syslog
+zcip - auto-backgrounds and logs *also* to syslog unless -f
