SYSLOG output does not include prefix

Bug Description

The output generated by the SYSLOG plugin does not seem to include any prefix text (specified by the --ulog-prefix option of ipt_ULOG). (The LOGEMU plugin does include the prefix.)

I suspect the fix is as simple as changing line 77 of plugins/specter_SYSLOG.c from:

         if (printpkt_print(buf, md->flags))

to

         if (printpkt_print(buf, PRINTPKT_PREFIX|md->flags))

(but I could easily be wrong.)

Thank you for the report. You may be right. The code in question is quite old, so I can't say why there's no PRINTPKT_PREFIX flag set in the SYSLOG plugin. I will have some time to investigate this next week, so stay tuned.
