It can be done in the syslog.conf, but you will probably need a filter if you _really_ want to keep it out of the default 'messages' file. A quick look at the source shows that named uses the 'LOG_DAEMON' facility. You could send this to a new file by doing, *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err,daemon.none /var/log/messages daemon.notice /var/log/named.log In your syslog.conf, but this will also redirect all other programs that use the daemon facility to the new file. Alternatively, you can redirect the named to another file by adding, !named *.* /var/log/named.log Which now will log everything from named to the file. BUT anything at notice or above will be duplicated in the messages file. To stop that, without killing off of all of the comments from other daemon facilty users, I believe you'll need to run a filter on the flow to messages. Have a look again at the syslog.conf and syslog manpage now that you know that named uses the LOG_DAEMON facility. Good luck. HTH. -- Crist J.
