This seems to be a sendmail bug then. I don't know why they don't use the syslog() call in libc.
Actually, the sm_syslog() function in sendmail/conf.c *does* call the libc syslog(), and has for quite some time. sm_syslog() exists primarily as a wrapper for working around busticated vendor syslogs.
I didn't see any mention of what libc Fran's sendmail is linked against, and thus I can't rule out the possibility that the syslog() call in libc isn't itself buggy.
Sorry for not including this info.
The system is RHEL4 AS Update 4. It is running Redhat's rpm.
sendmail-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5 sendmail-doc-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5 sendmail-devel-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5 sendmail-cf-8.13.1-3.RHEL4.5
This information is not itself enough. You'd need to disassemble the sm_syslog() call and see what it does. (or anyone with a RHEL 4). -- Bazsi
