Right, but the configuration is not using the syslog protocol. It's using LocalSyslogAppender, which is supposed to be calling the C syslog() function, and it's supposed to use LOG_DAEMON, which uses the facility shifted by 3 (because it's combined with the priority). I think I need to go look at the source code again. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
