[syslog-ng] Bugreport: Ver 1.9.5 problems with facility/level filtering

[Marvin.Nipper at Stream.com]

Balazs...

I didn't know if you'd seen this (original) thread (I won't repeat all of
it here, but did repeat Peter's suggested fix below).  I applied this fix,
and it did resolve my problems, as it did Peter's.  I looked at the latest
snapshot, and didn't see this particular change applied, so I figured that
I'd ask whether this is something that should be applied(?)  Or...
Possibly... It's resolved through some other means, or worse (for me)
maybe it implies that I've got something else misconfigured, that is
actually the root cause of my (and maybe Peter's) problem.

If there's any information that you need from me, I'd be happy to supply
it.  Thanks for your good work and efforts!

Marvin

I too have experienced this problem and decided to investigate the 
source code.  Unless I'm missing something, it appears that 1.9.5 simply 
does not set the correct variable internally, regardless of 
configuration.  The following patch solved the problem for me:
--- /home/pnahas/syslog-ng-1.9.5/src/filter.c   2005-01-05

Hope that helps!
