Description Joe Nall 2007-04-09 19:56:31 UTC 
Description of problem: In LSPP configuration /var/log/messages is SystemLow.
Since SystemHigh data can be logged, this allows SystemHigh to SystemLow data flow.

Comment 1 George C. Wilson 2007-04-09 20:56:01 UTC 
sgrubb: Shouldn't all /var/log contents be at SystemHigh?
Comment 2 George C. Wilson 2007-04-09 21:00:56 UTC 
Joe Nall: You're either allowing writedowns, or cannot log above SystemLow.

Linda Knippers: There is support for the log being a trusted object. Is the
issue just the level of the log file?

Chad Hanson: Would you want syslogd to run at SystemHigh as well?
