Default syslog-ng.conf error ?

I noticed that my uucp.log and cron.log files were identical.

Aparently it is caused by this:

 filter f_uucp { facility(cron); };

in /etc/syslog-ng.conf

Is this how it is supposed to be ? If so, why ?

This does indeed seem suspicious. I'd say post a bug report.

Yes, it's a bug, good catch. The facility should be uucp;

filter f_uucp { facility(uucp); };

Also, there are duplicate lines in syslog-ng.conf:

filter f_news { facility(news); };
filter f_user { facility(user); };
filter f_uucp { facility(cron); };
filter f_news { facility(news); };
