Well I suspect the problem is with the Sys::Syslog perl module. On our CentOS 5.5 system we have perl 5.8 with version 0.13 of the module (this is quite old). My Fedora 13 PC uses perl 5.10 with version 0.27 of the module (the latest version). However, it seems there is a bug with that version which causes it to ignore the facility - (fix here) http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=55151 I have left the plugin enabled, but without using the syslog options. I have had a look at the (0.13) syslog module, but can't really see where the problem is. If I get more time, then I may try and debug it further.
