syslog (busybox) is not logging to a local file when the flag "-C" is used

Reported by: tha Assigned to: tha
Priority: major Milestone: 1.0.x
Component: general Version: 1.0
Keywords: busybox syslog not logging local Cc:

Description

When syslog from busybox is started (for example at boot time) with the default settings "-C 16" (in rc.conf) then syslog will not log to file. Remote sysloging (if configured) is working. If "-C 16" is removed then local loging is working, too.

Busybox syslog seems to be broken... any ideas?

As you can see, it's a feature, not a bug! :P
