Issue 2: TAG Field Definition http://www.employees.org/~lonvick/draft-ietf-syslog-sign-12.html#HEADER
>From Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/syslog-sec%40employees.org/msg01224.html http://www.mail-archive.com/syslog-sec%40employees.org/msg01234.html http://www.mail-archive.com/syslog-sec%40employees.org/msg01222.html Rainer has proposed the following text: """ The TAG is a string of visible (printing) characters excluding SP, that MUST NOT exceed 32 characters in length. The first occurrence of a colon (":") or SP " " character terminates the TAG field. Generally, the TAG contains the name of the process that generated the message. It may OPTIONALLY contain additional information such as the numerical process ID of that process bound within square brackets ("[" and "]"). A colon MUST be the last character in this field. To be consistent with the format described in RFC 3164, a space character need not follow the colon in normal syslog packets. """ However, anyone trying to convey information of "Myproc[PID,Threadid]:" may have a problem with something like syslog[12345,C:\usr\sbin\cron]: Albert suggests just having "syslog" in the cert/sig-block messages but that seems to be inconsistent with the possible formats of the normal syslog messages. Can anyone offer a suggestion to resolve this?
