[strongSwan] How to change group names in syslog

Both of these observations are true.  The log messages are eventually
logged by listeners registered on the global message bus.  For logging
to syslog this is src/libcharon/bus/listeners/sys_logger.c and for
logging to files it's file_logger.c in the same directory.  There are
other loggers in individual plugins.  Of the two loggers above only the
syslogger limits the group string to 4 characters, so increasing the
buffer there should allow you to see the longer group names.

Just out of curiosity, what's the reason you want to change these in the
first place?
