Even though POSIX defines the API and explains the idea be= hind flags like LOG_PID, it in no way describes the actual process of logging or= the exact format that is used to store entries on disk. We're allowed to log any additional metadata we want (unique message IDs, user IDs, associated TTY n= ame, etc.), even if no flag were to be set.=20 Though I agree that the new syslog(3) implementation is unconventional in t= hat sense, I think that this change should be seen as something positive. It improves traceability. I therefore suggest that we close this with WONTFIX = if others agree. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
