msyslog crazy screen output
I recently upgraded to msyslog. It seems to all work the same for the most part, but I have one problem. I have logs sent to tty12 so I can check out whats going on if I want to. This should be fine but it looks like it is being auto-indented or something. Is this normal? Here is an example: Sep 12 14:46:10 cy599856-a fetchmail[3374]: reading message 1 of 2 (2721 octets) Sep 12 14:46:10 cy599856-a fetchmail[3374]: flushed Sep 12 14:46:10 cy599856-a fetchmail[3374]: reading message 2 of 2 (2784 octets) Sep 12 14:46:10 cy599856-a fetchmail[3374]: flushed As you can see this looks pretty bad, and not easy to follow. I really don't want to downgrade to syslog just because of this.
