In syslogd.c, around line 560, we find the following code
fragment:
/* don't allow users to log kernel messages */
if (LOG_FAC(pri) == LOG_KERN)
pri = LOG_MAKEPRI(LOG_USER, LOG_PRI(pri));
I understand that the kernel facility is being changed to user
but I don't understand the reason for doing that. It makes
kern.xxx entries in /var/log/messages appear as user.xxx
but I would like to see the original facility...
Thanks for an enlightment,
-Andre
