>Description:
krb5kdc and kadmind syslog incorrectly. They syslog to a bogus
facility, and fail to include their pid and process name.
>How-To-Repeat:
Stumble through setting up kerberos. Check your syslog
file. Observe something like:
Oct 5 15:11:36 liam-gw krb5kdc[88]: PROCESS_V4:UNKNOWN "jhawk/test" ""
Oct 5 15:49:29 liam-gw syslog: Cannot find/read stored master key - while fetching master key K/M for realm BBNPLANET.NET
The first line is from beta 5. The second is from beta 7. See the difference?
Also, "trace" a process while trying to figure out how
it is losing. Observe that the strings it hands to sendto()
start with <13> and <14>. Surprise, that's LOG_USER:
at LOG_KWARNING or LOG_NOTICE.
#define LOG_USER (1<<3) /* random user-level messages */
#define LOG_WARNING 4 /* warning conditions */
#define LOG_NOTICE 5 /* normal but signification condition */
