Actually, -syslog-protocol disallows this by the way the PRI value is specified (this was different in previous versions of the I-D). In short: PRI MOD 8 is severity. So if a severity greater than 7 would be given, it would actually modify the facility. See 6.2.1: -- The Priority value is calculated by first multiplying the Facility number by 8 and then adding the numerical value of the Severity. -- Rainer _______________________________________________ Syslog mailing list Syslog@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/syslog
