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 pri=
ority as explained with the command line options. The -S (upper case s) opt=
ion states that the default priority is notice, and the -s (lower case s) s=
ays 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 sys=
log
             parameters are provided.  The default values are daemon, notic=
e,
             and daemon for facility, priority, and tag, respectively.

...


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

Best regards,
