Subject:   default syslog priority discrepancy in daemon(8) man page

L.S.

In the daemon(8) man page I noticed a discrepancy in the default syslog priority as explained with the command line options. The -S (upper case s) option states that the default priority is notice, and the -s (lower case s) says info. The latter is wrong, i.e. the correct default syslog priority is notice.

>From the daemon(8) man page:

-S           Enable syslog output.  This is implicitly applied if other syslog
             parameters are provided.  The default values are daemon, notice,
             and daemon for facility, priority, and tag, respectively.

...


-s      syslog_priority
             These priorities are accepted: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning,
             notice, info, and debug.  The default is info.

Best regards,
