System: NetBSD 5.99.01
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	The new syslog code adds a newline at the begining of the message
	and cuts off the end of the message.

	Here is an example send to a user:
--- cut ---
root@host1#
Message from syslogd@host1.domain1.de at Nov  2 09:36:28 ...
95 <38>Nov  2 09:36:28 host1 inetd[1330]: connection from host2.domain2.de, service logi

Message from syslogd@host1.domain1.de at Nov  2 09:36:29 ...
95 <38>Nov  2 09:36:29 host1 rlogind[1330]: user2@host2.domain2.de as user1: iruserok su
--- cut ---

	While the same line in a logfile looks ok:
Nov  2 09:36:28 host1 inetd[1330]: connection from host2.domain2.de, service login (tcp)
Nov  2 09:36:29 host1 rlogind[1330]: user2@host2.domain2.de as user1: iruserok succeeded

>How-To-Repeat:
	Add a line to /etc/syslog.conf which send the syslog message to a user
	or on the console:
		*.notice;auth.debug root      
>Fix:
	IMHO the sqeuence number should be removed from the output and so the
	cut off wouldn't happen.

 It looks like all message are now send in UTC and not the local timezone.
 This is confusing and not what was used before.
