1866.0. "wwwproxy.log has telnet log info in it." by CSC32::GLAUNER () Fri Mar 14 1997 19:11

    Why would there be telnetxd  
    and smtpxd records in the wwwproxy.log in altavista firewall for unix
    I don't know which version yet.  Any pointers would be wonderful.
    
    thanks

1866.1CHEFS::espol1.gmt.dec.com::PITTGone with the winsock ...Mon Mar 17 1997 07:3112
There is a (very long-standing) bug in Digital UNIX syslogd that causes
it to put log information in the wrong log file.  It happens most often
when syslog is very busy logging to disk.

I have observed this very frequently when one has an internal packet
screen machine receiving a copy of the firewall log files - it very
often breaks the information up incorrectly into different file.

I have no idea whether this bug has ever been logged, or what versions
are affected, or whether there is a patch available.
