Hi, just a question...

Is there a reason that the logger code adds a BOM (Byte Order Mark - xEFxBBxBF) to the front of syslog messages?. Rsyslog doesn't do anything with this and simply logs the "garbage" characters with the message.

Maybe it was something to do with the dedicated syslog server that is no longer around.

Thanks,
@Pacjunk

Actually linux utilities seem to strip this out. It's only my log reading software that sees them.
