You (or better the administrator) can create a named pipe (with mknod) and 
direct parts of the log infos additionally to this named pipe. So the 
syslog.conf needs to be edited and a line like "kern.info | YourNamedPipe"
may be added, which say, the all the log messeages from the kernel shout 
additional go throug the named pipe. Of course the syslog-daemen needs to be 
restartet or instructed to reread its config file.

Hope that helps
Rolf
