             nThis:


Substantial changes were made to the public API of the SyslogAppender on
2004-11-29 (rev 310971) with the comment "Checnhes to make SyslogAppender RFC
3164 compatible" (sic).  There appear to be no discussion of the changes around
the time of the commit, but the following messages may be related to the
changes, but do not appear to be the direct source of the changes:

RFC Complient SyslogAppender, 2003-03-17
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=104788203427770&w=2

SysLog and SysLog-ng daemon on Solaris, 2003-03-12
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4j-dev&m=104747156207068&w=2

Other messages in the archives contain contributions of a JNI-based
SyslogAppender and charset encoding support, but those are outside the scope of
this bug, but may be desirable after this bug is complete.

Web searching on one of the distinct method names in the 1.3 implementation
(facilityStringToint) did not identify any potential source of the
implementation.  Any information on the motivation and rationale of the changes
would be appreciated. 

The initial commit on this bug is a test case on the v1_2-branch that tests the
public API of the SyslogAppender which eventually will be ported to the HEAD as
its implementation is modified to be compatible with the 1.2.x API.
