>Originator: Eugeny Grosbein
>Release: FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Svyaz Service Co.
>Environment:
Fresh installation of FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE, cvsup'd
to 3.4-RC 6 Dec 1999
>Description:
/usr/sbin/syslogd strips 8th bits from characters. That makes messages
written in Russian (I suppose other non-English messages are affected too)
unreadable.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Follow instructions in /usr/share/doc/handbook/l10n.html
and setup KOI8-R locale for console.
2. Say 'logger -s some_russian_words'
3. You will have non-broken line at stdout and broken one (all 8th bits
cleaned) in /var/log/messages
>Fix:
Here is a patch, I use and it's all right; however it's annoying
to apply in after each cvsup.
