Bug ID: 229236
Summary: syslogd failed to parse TIMESTAMP
Product: Base System
Version: 11.2-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Keywords: regression
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: ***@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: ***@plan-b.pwste.edu.pl

Commit r335059 brought syslogd(8) in sync with the copy in HEAD. Unfortunately,
it broke capability to log messages which have incorrect timestamps. Such
syslog messages are still common when you log from older network equipment or
non-RFC compliant third-party apps.

Running syslogd in debug mode:

Failed to parse TIMESTAMP from x.x.x.x: 12403: Jun 22 17:31:38 CEST:
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/17,
changed state to down

The same message in debug is seen when syslogd is run with -T switch.
