There is, as far as I know, only a 1 character bug!  (and it is missing a “!”)

 

The file is src/misc.c

 

 

$ diff -c misc.c misc.c.orig

*** misc.c      2008-12-30 12:12:36.000000000 -0600

--- misc.c.orig 2008-12-30 12:24:00.000000000 -0600

***************

*** 274,280 ****

    struct passwd *pw;

 

    *uid = 0;

!   if (!*user)

      return FALSE;

 

    pw = getpwnam(user);

--- 274,280 ----

    struct passwd *pw;

 

    *uid = 0;

!   if (*user)

      return FALSE;

 

    pw = getpwnam(user);

 

Hope this helps, hope it gets to someone who can fix it, thanks for syslog-ng.
