Why this should not be the case with Linux as well ? Well, personally I would find it annoying, as it adds a lot of mostly useless information to each logged message, which makes it harder to read. If I really care what facility and priority something is logged at, I can separate all the messages into separate log files based on facility and priority. But in 10 years of professional system administration, I've never found a case where knowing the facility and priority of messages logged to syslog was particularly useful... > Perhaps Solaris isn't using a gnu syslogd?
