If the new lines at the end are ok, and the messages dont contain newlines themselves, you should be fine. If both destination and source is unix-STREAM(). Don't you hapoen to use unix-dgram() somewhere? That would take the datagram fragments as individual messages.

Can you show me the framing errors you mention?

I have syslog-ng pumping data into a unix-stream destination socketfilething.

Data going into this domain socket has lots of adventures, and then emerges as a source unix-stream on another host.
Both have flags(syslog-protocol), but the data gets framing errors at the receiver.

I think it's become a bytestream (instead of a message stream) enroute, and the recv() is relying on only getting one message at a time, because it can't know the message length any other way, as unix-stream gets messages without framing(?).

Is there a way to salvage this? (I noticed TLS might add framing, but since the tunnel is already TLS ...)
