            Bug ID: 220884
           Summary: syslogd doesn't include all files in include
                    directories
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dan.mcgregor at usask.ca

When multiple files exist in /etc/syslog.d or /usr/local/etc/syslog.d, only the
last on processed has any effect on the syslog configuration. This does work as
expected in CURRENT.

Starting syslogd verbosely on a default system (with /etc/syslog.d/ppp.conf and
/etc/syslog.d/ftp.conf), and /usr/local/etc/syslog.d/dhcpd.conf gives the
following output:

The entries from /etc/syslog.d/ftp.log and /etc/syslog.d/ppp.conf are ignored
or discarded. The expected behaviour (as seen in CURRENT) is:

In -CURRENT the entries from /etc/syslog.d/ppp.conf and ftp.conf are not
ignored.
