a. I would consider that to be sloppy specs. I will not argue
any further on that point :-)
b. rfc3164 describes to the BSD syslog protocol.
In BSD implementations (e.g. FreeBSD) there is a subtle
difference between Facility 4 (LOG_AUTH) and 14(LOG_AUTHPRIV).
Facility 15 is reserved for system use.
c. The syslog protocol is defining a standard, not describing
existing implementations.
[Existing implementations will not inter-operate with the
new protocol] Correct me if I am wrong.
So what should we do ? Well, discuss it and decide that is what
we have the working group for :-) [Apologies if this has been
discussed already - I missed it. ]

Hi,
Sincere apologies for the delay in sending the following comments
on the Syslog Protocol document. I faced problems with these while
trying to align the mib document with the protocol document
In section 6.2.1
a. The concept of Facility in the syslog protocol context should
be explained
b. In Table 1 references are made to "note 1" and "note 2"
these notes do not exist in the document
c. In Table 1
Facility 9,15 both denote the clock daemon
Facility 4,14 both denote security/authorization messages
So what:-)
This is a copy of RFC3164 which in turn is lifted from the mass of
implementations so we are documenting what is, which is the point of the
exercise.
I am unclear what you would change it to since any change would make it wrong,
IMHO.
Tom Petch
I think that a,b are editorial matters while c is WG matter.
Cheers
Glenn
