 * Hi, we got this error (we have tested in over 100 blogs and each time there is
   this error).
 * PHP Warning: openlog() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/xxxxxxxxx/
   public_html/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/stop-user-enumeration/stop-user-
   enumeration.php on line 53
 * Any idea why?

 * HI that Warning is due to openlog() being disabled.
 * This is probably something done by your host and you probably are on shared hosting.
 * options
    ————– 1. You can turn warnings off in php (google turn off warnings 
   in php) 2. Remove the openlog string from the disable_functions at php.ini* file
   3. Ask your hosting provider to remove the string above if you don’t have an 
   access to the php.ini* file 4. Change hosting provider which allows the running
   of the openlog function.
 * stop user enumeration writes to syslog so Fail2Ban can work. If you are not using
   fail2ban this is not message is not important
 * Of course the code could be modified to not log to syslog.
