Re: messages to syslog at startup.

[Martin Roesch <roesch () sourcefire com>]

The startup messages are generated by calling LogMessage from util.c,  
the function is below.  Looks like LOG_DAEMON and LOG_NOTICE are being  
used judging by the syslog() call in there.


void LogMessage(const char *format,...)
{
    char buf[STD_BUF+1];
    va_list ap;

    if(pv.quiet_flag && !pv.daemon_flag)
        return;

    va_start(ap, format);

    if(pv.daemon_flag)
    {
        vsnprintf(buf, STD_BUF, format, ap);
        syslog(LOG_DAEMON | LOG_NOTICE, "%s", buf);
    }
    else
    {
        vfprintf(stderr, format, ap);
    }
    va_end(ap);
}
