Description of problem:
A set of scripts which sent LOG_EMERG log messages through Sys::Syslog perl
module on RHEL4.3, do not send the messages with this log level on RHEL5.1.
How reproducible:
RHEL5.1 system installed.
Steps to Reproduce:
Invoke the following command from the console:
$ perl -e 'use Sys::Syslog; syslog(LOG_EMERG, "Test message")'
Actual results:
syslog: invalid level/facility: LOG_EMERG at -e line 1
Expected results:
Message from syslogd@test1 at Fri Nov 7 11:28:34 2008 ...
test1 host1: Test message
Additional info:
The current version of the module Sys::Syslog in RHEL5 is 0.13. This issue was
fixed in 0.14:
The lines of code:
if ($_ eq 'kern' || $num <= 0) {
croak "syslog: invalid level/facility: $_"
were changed to
if ($num < 0) {
croak "syslog: invalid level/facility: $word"
