Description of problem: After installing the latest ksyslogd I got the following in /var/log/messages: --- snipp --- Jun 9 19:32:52 hurricane kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped. Jun 9 19:32:52 hurricane kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sysklogd-1.4.1-17 How reproducible & Steps to Reproduce: 1. Default charset systemwide is NON-UTF8 (for example iso-8859-1) 2. Install sysklogd 3. Restart a daemon 4. Get the empty messages in syslog [5. Do the fallback to -16 to get something working] Actual results: I still know, that UTF8 is Red Hat's default, but maybe we can find a solution to make both working fine? Expected results: Solution where UTF8 and other charsets without conflicts and problems are working in syslog without empty messages or something like that :-)

FYI I had this on a system with an UTF-8 locale too
Please mark this a 125650 instead of the reverse, since - 125650 is older - it has a *long* list of people in CC (including RH people) - it is the one referenced on fedora-devel mailing list. Alternatively please at least transfer all the CCs from 125650 to this one
Next rpm should have this fixed, will just copy all non '\n'-chars for now...
Thank you very much, Florian, your fix works very well for me :-)
Works well here too. Thanks :)
