Bug 177258 – app-admin/metalog-0.8_rc4 has leading zero only with messages from the kernel

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Yarda 2007-05-05 23:12:29 UTC]

At least when used in conjuction with =net-firewall/shorewall-3.2.9, the shorewall logs seems to have leading zero in date for days that are less than 10:

> May 06 00:20:54 [kernel] Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= ....
      ^---leading zero

but other logs are without leading zeroes, eg:

> May  6 00:21:54 [metalog] Process [17682] died with signal [15]
      ^---no leading zero

It seems that =app-admin/metalog-0.8_rc1-r2 works OK, eg:

> May  6 00:20:54 [kernel] Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= ...

This behaviour of metalog leads to little troubles at least when parsing log files with logwatch. 


Reproducible: Always

only when the source is [kernel] does the leading zero exist

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2007-05-06 22:49:28 UTC]

fixed in metalog-0.8
