Description Alix 2020-01-15 11:44:56 UTC 
I believe packaged /etc/rsysog.d/50-default.conf contains a typo. 

The following configuration block from /etc/rsysog.d/50-default.conf catches all user facility messages regardless of their priority:

*.info;auth,authpriv,cron,daemon,lpr,mail,news.none action(
        name="action_messages"
        type="omfile"
        File="/var/log/messages"
        FileOwner="root"
        FileGroup="adm"
)

Therefore all user facility messages are basically doubled in both /var/log/user.log and /var/log/messages.

Correct version of this filter should be the following:

*.=info;auth,authpriv,cron,daemon,lpr,mail,news.none action(
[skip]
)

This change fixes doubling of user facility messages, only user.info messages will end up in both /var/log/user.log and /var/log/messages.

Reproducible: Always
