Why is it that syslog-ng places the program name in the message string? As in:

I'd like to see just the words "this is a test" in the $MSG variable. I am using syslog-ng version 1.5.24, on OpenBSD 3.5.
I think it's because the program name isn't required and often isn't there. If it's always chopped then you'll lose valuable information much of the time from the actual message. -- Nate "C(++) is a write-only, high-level assembler language." - Stefan Van Baelen.
