Description

pfSense version : 25.03-BETA
platform : QEMU

25.03-BETA appears to partially break remote logging. I'm seeing log messages from apps like unbound, charon, and kea, but no system messages.
To reproduce. Configure logging to remote server, run `logger test message` and nothing arrives on remote server. Rollback to 24.11 and works fine.

Looks like this is from something in if_pppoe logging and it's also in CE

When a config has "everything" checked it should end like this:

!*
*.*                                                             @x.x.x.x

But now it ends like this:

!*
:msg, startswith, "if_pppoe: " 
*.*                                                             /var/log/ppp.log!*
*.*                                                             @x.x.x.x

The directive that should be sending all logs to a remote server is missing its "!*" line since it's tacked on the end of the PPPoE line.
