Hi Archie, Sorry to come in late like this, but you moved pretty quickly on this one. :-) Your patch provides an all or nothing solution. What about systems that have syslogd pipe recipients, some of which are programmed to deal with aggregated messages and some of which are not? Wouldn't it be better to extend the ssylog.conf language so that the operator can choose _which_ pipe recipients should receive unaggregated messages? Ciao, Sheldon.
