<pre>Messages of services configured with SyslogLevelPrefix=true are always logged
as facility "user", no matter what SyslogFacility is set to.
Example:
---------
[Unit]
Description=Facility Test
[Install]
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'while /bin/true; do echo "<4>Hello World"; sleep 3; done'
KillMode=process
StandardInput=null
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=inherit
SyslogFacility=mail
SyslogIdentifier=facility-test
SyslogLevel=notice
SyslogLevelPrefix=true
----------
These messages end up in /var/log/messages, not /var/log/mail. An strace on the
syslog daemon shows that it's not a syslog configuration problem:
[pid 20592] recvfrom(3, "<12>Jun 10 15:27:46 facility-tes"..., 8192, 0,
{sa_family=AF_FILE, sun_path="/dev/log"}, [11]) = 53
I. e. syslog receives these as 12=1*8+4, which is facility "user" and level 4.
(Discovered on openSUSE-12.3 with systemd-13.25.1)</pre>
