Dear Sir,

I would like to let you know that you made my day!

See, I have boinc processes running on my machine which, due to
a long standing bug of proper DISPLAY detection to identify user
activity, spams every second my syslog with this message:

	Jul  9 23:19:48 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified
	Jul  9 23:19:49 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified
	Jul  9 23:19:50 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified

Inspired by your intervention I created, in my configuration
tree, a file /etc/rsyslog.d/boinc.conf containing:

	:msg, isequal, " No protocol specified" stop

Then restarted the logging service:

	# invoke-rc.d rsylog restart

Spam from boinc is no more.  :)

Kind Regards,
