Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.14.1+11-gb0b734a8b3-1 My syslog has entries that look like this: Jun 09 10:54:26 hyper1 root[621]: /etc/xen/scripts/block: add XENBUS_PATH=backend/vbd/1/768 The third field is supposed to be the program name, which I would expect to either be xen or xl or something, but instead it appears to be passing $USER.

I guess this is one of the many things that have to be dealt with when doing a great overhaul of all the ancient scripts-stuff in xen. I'm marking it 'upstream' now, since we cannot fix this in the Debian packaging process, any solution should go 'upstream-first'. Hans

If you don't use --tag then: -t, --tag tag Mark every line to be logged with the specified tag. The default tag is the name of the user logged in on the terminal (or a user name based on effective user ID). But yeah, one for upstream. Cheers, Andy
