Note in the comments that it is possible, but not recommended to use spaces instead of tabs in this file. This matches the description in the manpage. PR: 25945 Submitted by: T. William Wells <bill@twwells.com>

# Spaces ARE valid field separators in this file. However,

Clean up logging of security information a bit: o Introduce /var/log/authentication.log, which will be the target for auth.info and authpriv.info by default. Rotate on the same schedule as most other logs. Create at installation. o Remove logging of auth.info from /var/log/security.log, which will return to being only for security feature subsystems (such as ipfw, and so on). This creates a special authentication log, which can now be searched by scripts for authentication events.

Turns out everyone is a lot lazier than I thought. Spell 'authentication.log' as 'auth.log'. This is also more consistent with syslog facility names. Sigh. :-) Submitted by: asmodai, aeonflux, green, ....

Add syslog(3) support to devd(8). sbin/devd/devd.cc All output will now go to syslog(3) if devd is daemonized, or stderr if it's running in the foreground. sbin/devd/devd.8 Remove the "-D" flag.

Add two commented out syslog.conf entries, one to demonstrate the use of an all.log for logging all messages, and one to demonstrate use of loghosts. Also, a matching entry in newsyslog.conf for all.log. Per request of Garrett Wollman, also modified the maillog entry to use the @T newsyslog time specification mechanism. Because newsyslog doesn't support the mod date specification machanism, couldn't change other entries that required more than one execution a month, but less than once a day.

sbin/devd/devd.cc Promoting the SIGINFO handler's log message from LOG_INFO to LOG_NOTICE, and promoting the "Processing event ..." message from LOG_DEBUG to LOG_INFO. Setting the logfile to LOG_NOTICE with this change will have the same result as setting it to LOG_INFO without this change. Setting it to LOG_INFO with this change will include the useful "Processing event ..." messages that were previously at LOG_DEBUG, without including useless messages like "Pushing table". The intent of this change is that one can log "Processing event ..." without logging "Pushing table" and related messages that are sent for every event. The number of lines actually logged is reduced by about 75% by making this change and setting syslog to LOG_INFO vs setting syslog to LOG_DEBUG. etc/syslog.conf Changing the recommended loglevel to notice instead of info.

syslogd(8): add an 'include' keyword All the '.conf' files not beginning with a '.' contained int he directory following the keyword will be included. This keyword can only be used in the first level configuration files. Modify the default syslogd.conf to 'include' /etc/syslog.d and /usr/local/etc/syslog.d It simplify a lot handling of syslog from automation tools.
