Subject: 4.3BSD-tahoe syslog routine ignores setlogmask calls
Index: lib/libc/gen/syslog.c 4.3BSD-tahoe
Description:
The 4.3BSD-tahoe setlogmask library routine has no effect due to
a coding error in the syslog routine.
Repeat-By:
Set the syslog log mask to something other than the default
with a call to setlogmask. Log something at a disabled priority
with syslog. Note that the message is logged.
Fix:
