The branch main has been updated by markj: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=29ec3907f193e205a1c2118c182ec43e51baf717 commit 29ec3907f193e205a1c2118c182ec43e51baf717 Author: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2026-02-16 19:50:45 +0000 Commit: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-02-16 20:16:12 +0000 syslogd: Improve handling of configuration errors Make parse_selector() print a warning to stderr and continue parsing the config if it encounters an invalid facility or priority. Note that because the parsing is done from a casper service, there isn't a good mechanism to log errors; the warnings are visible only when syslogd is started in debug mode.
