Subject: Bug in syslog module?

Hi all,

Ruby 1.6.7 on Solaris 9

Whenever I pass Syslog::LOG_USER as the facility, it seems to log the 
message twice to  /var/adm/messages.  I didn't see this with LOG_NEWS, 
LOG_MAIL, etc.  It's not supposed to do that, is it?  I only see one 
'crit' entry in /etc/syslog.conf, btw.

Here's the script I used:

#!/bin/ruby

require 'syslog'
Syslog.open($0,Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_NDELAY, Syslog::LOG_USER)
Syslog.crit("Testing...")
Syslog.close

While I'm at it, would a (root only) interface to /etc/syslog.conf be 
worth adding to the syslog module?

Regards,

Dan
