puppetdlog configuration parameter broken?

[John Lyman]

I am trying to log to a file instead of syslog, but when I set
"puppetdlog = /var/log/puppetd.log", it still logs to syslog. If also
set "syslogfacility =", it doesn't log anywhere.

Does this work for anyone else?

Hmmm I think this is broken. Nor does masterlog either I think.
I'll log some tickets.

The latter case - if you set syslogfacility you don't get any log
output to syslog at all?

What are you setting it to? Any errors when run with --debug
- --verbose --trace?

Only if I set it to nothing (i.e. "syslogfacility =" with no value).
This is probably expected behavior, but I thought that maybe the
syslogfacility needed to be turned off for puppetdlog to work.
