New syslog output could be improved



Hi Martin,

I have a syslog.conf rule to output some lines to a root window:
 *.notice;auth.debug root
and to a log file:
 auth,authpriv.info /var/log/authlog

Now the new syslogd produce this output in the root window:

--- cut ---
root@host1#
Message from syslogd%host1.domain1.de@localhost at Nov  2 09:36:28 ...
95 <38>Nov  2 09:36:28 host1 inetd[1330]: connection from host2.domain2.de, 
service logi

Message from syslogd%host1.domain1.de@localhost at Nov  2 09:36:29 ...
95 <38>Nov  2 09:36:29 host1 rlogind[1330]: user2%host2.domain2.de@localhost as 
user1: iruserok su
--- cut ---

While the logfile looks ok:
 Nov  2 09:36:28 host1 inetd[1330]: connection from host2.domain2.de, service 
login (tcp)
 Nov  2 09:36:29 host1 rlogind[1330]: user2%host2.domain2.de@localhost as 
user1: iruserok succeeded

So, the user output now adds a newline at the begining of the output,
the sequence number and cuts off the output at the end of the line.

Bernd
