Syslog facility and logfiles

[gartmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Christoph Gartmann)]

Hello,

Multinet V5.2 under OpenVMS 7.3-2: we would like to collect syslog data
in two files. Thus, our SYSLOG.CONFIGURATION contains two lines:

   local4.*        /diskb:[multinet.mpiib.log]pix.log
   local7.*        /diskb:[multinet.mpiib.log]router0.log

Things work as expected for the first log (pix.log) but don't for the second.
With tcpdump I see the packets arriving, e.g.:
                 4500 009b dc53 0000 fe11 37cf c0a8 08fe E....S....7.....
                 c081 1e07 d075 0202 0087 c992 3c31 3930 .....u......<190

                 2c20 3120 7061 636b 6574 20             , 1 packet

The field <190> suggests a facility code of "local7" (23) and a severity code
of "informational" (6). But why doesn't Multinet save the data?

Regards,
   Christoph Gartmann
