Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask about a problem with the syslog function in FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE. The function call syslog ((FACILITY | LOG_NOTICE), "connect from [%s]", inet_ntoa (c_addr.sin_addr)); logs a message like Sep 14 21:26:13 stan sms_serv[7147]: connect from [56.252.191.191] for a connection from the localhost. The same code however works properly on FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE. On the problem host, I have replaced the call above with sprintf(buf, "connect from [%s]", inet_ntoa (c_addr.sin_addr)); syslog((FACILITY | LOG_NOTICE),buf); and found it to work Ok. Needless to say I would rather have syslog work in the manner documented. " void syslog(int priority, const char *message, ...)
