I bet that it's wrong for log files, because that just requests writing
to the reject log. (And I certainly see just one entry on each when
using log files.) A quick flip through log.c confirms that it calls a
function write_syslog() - which writes a string to syslog - once if
LOG_MAIN is set and once if LOG_REJECT is set.
But from what you say, I think I have misunderstood the problem.
Are you saying that, originally, your got THREE log lines written to
syslog? And after the change you have two? I would have expected two and
one, respectively.
Or am I totally confused? (I wouldn't be surprised. As usual, I'm trying
to do several things at once.)
