I did some testing with Ubuntu 12.04 and Radiator 4.12.1 but had
different results. Setting LogOpt to 'cons' changed the format so that
the PID was not printed anymore. Also, an empty value, that is just
LogOpt with no value, worked to remove the PID.

As mentioned above, it worked for me. This might be caused by different
Sys-Syslog versions. Ubuntu 12.04 uses Sys-Syslog version 0.27.

The trailing colon is added by Sys-Syslog. Radiator does not add it, so
you would need to change Sys-Syslog to get rid of it.

In summary: I was able to change LogOpt to drop the PID variable. Empty
value for LogOpt worked as did setting the value to cons. I'm not sure
if this difference comes from Radiator or Sys-Syslog version.

Thanks,
