Description Gentoo User 2006-06-22 17:49:08 UTC 
All error output from logtail.c is via "printf" statements, sending it to the normal channel, confusing the invocator.

Change to use perror() or similar.

Not security, please read the product descriptions when filing bugs.

I have reviewed the logtail.c file, The information that is being
printed appears to be critical and should be printed normally, this would seem to be a feature not a bug.

Indeed. Please, take this upstream, it looks to be intended, we are not touching this.
