Logger logs as user.notice

Logger logs as user.notice

[Jaime Saiz Santos]

Hi.
I have two questions regarding syslog & logger in inetutils package:


1. logger command seems to ignore -p option: it behaves as if 
"user.notice" were put always.

For instance:

$ cat /etc/syslog.conf
local3.*                /var/log/local3
user.notice                /var/log/user

$ net stop syslogd
$ net start syslogd
$ logger -p local3.info Some message

It writes the message in /var/log/user, instead of in /var/log/local3.
Am I doing something wrong?


2. A blank space is written between the tag and the colon in the output 
message.

For instance:

Oct 11 16:45:00 mymachine mytag : Some text         instead of:
Oct 11 16:45:00 mymachine mytag: Some text

Is it standard?

Thank you very much,
Jaime

Nope.  Cygwin is doing something wrong.  Cygwin's syslog function fails
to send the facility and priority word to syslogd.  Fixed in CVS.

No, it's not.  I removed the extra spaces from the output in CVS.


Thanks for the report,
