(RADIATOR) Null characters at end of syslog lines

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jan -

As far as I can see in the code in "Radius/AuthLogSYSLOG.pm",  
Radiator simply passes its normal log strings to the Sys::Syslog module.

I am therefore guessing that the extra terminating characters are  
being added at a lower level than Radiator.

A NULL at the end of a string is typical C/UNIX behaviour.

I don't know if this is configurable or not.

I'll ask Mike and let you know.

regards

Hugh
