>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	A FreeBSD current machine

>Description:

	syslogd no longer logs to ttys, and gives errors about a
	/ in /dev//dev/ttyva (for example)

>How-To-Repeat:

	put a line * /dev/ttyva in your syslog.conf and see

>Fix:
	
	in syslogd.c near line 1171 strip the /dev/ part from the
	filename in case of a tty. ttymsg() in /usr.bin/wall will
	prepend /dev/, and it will fall over any '/' in the filename,
	due to security reasons
