Description Matthew Melvin 2001-06-26 04:30:29 UTC 
Description of Problem:

ksu prints syslog messages to stderr even when using the -q (quiet) option.

[user@hostname ~]$ ksu -q
ksu[24196]: 'ksu root' authenticated user@REALM for user on /dev/pts/4
ksu[24196]: Account root: authorization for user@REALM successful
[root@hostname /home/user]#

This would seem to be due to LOG_AUTH being used as an option to the
openlog() call in krb5-1.2.2/src/clients/ksu/main.c instead of just a
facility...

#ifndef LOG_AUTH /* 4.2 syslog */
    openlog(prog_name, LOG_PID|LOG_NDELAY);
#else
    openlog(prog_name, LOG_PID | LOG_AUTH | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_AUTH);
#endif /* 4.2 syslog */

It should prolly just read...

#ifndef LOG_AUTH /* 4.2 syslog */
openlog(prog_name, LOG_PID|LOG_NDELAY);
#else
openlog(prog_name, LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_AUTH);
#endif /* 4.2 syslog */

This will be changed in krb5-1.2.2-9 and later.  Thanks!
