Raised in the Community forum. https://community.ipfire.org/t/ipfire-171-test-problems-logs-in-cgi-bin-logs-cgi-log-dat/8729 Many, but not all, entries in the /var/log/messages file have an extra space. I have also confirmed this by looking at the messages log on my CU171 Testing system. kernel, connectd, root and ipfire remain with only one space between the hostname and the program name. unbound, vnstatd, ntpd, dhcpd, suricata, sshd, saslauthd, pppd and acpid have two spaces between the hostname and the program name. Above list is not exhaustive but based on the logfile showed in the forum thread. All entries with two spaces no longer show any data in the System Logs.
Great. This looks like a bug in glibc: > https://git.ipfire.org/?p=thirdparty/glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=45459476ecc8fe315734912baf7adf3551cff640 > https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29544 I will backport it and send a patch as soon as possible.
