Is the syslog on rmerlin firmware set to debug?

[Deleted member 27741]

I've been playing around with syslog a bit- logging to usb and such. In my meanderings, I believe I have found that the default setting for the syslog (syslogd is the process) on rmerlin 374.43 is 7, or debug.

I am a pretty huge syslog noob, so I don't trust my own findings. Can anyone else confirm this? Maybe it is set to info (6)?

The log level is set to 7, so it will log everything more urgent than 7, i.e. 0-6. Debug (7) messages will not be logged.
