That doesn't help here - I think what we really want in syslog.conf is the ability to specify !prog.level as an alternative to facility.level. Then we could say something like !prog.none. Maybe ``!'' isn't a good character here... It's meant to indicate that a program follows, and not as a logical NOT. > Doug > -- > "Stop it, I'm gettin' misty." > > - Mel Gibson as Porter, "Payback" -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
