Hi

As it says in the subject line I am havin trouble stopping syslog() 
logging some things to root.  The news logging in particular is rather
annoying.  I have successfully managed to stop syslog loggin to /var/log/messages
but I can't seem to stop making it log to root.

Here's an excerpt from my syslog.conf

----- cut  here ----
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit;local0.none;news.none            /dev/console
				       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit;local0.none;news.none       /var/log/messages
				            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ftp.*                                           /var/log/ftp.log

##
## pop3
##
local0.*                                        /var/log/popper.log
----- cut  here ----

local0.none and news.none seem to work for /var/log/messages but fail for
/dev/console !

Ideas anybody. Please tell me I'm blind and can't see the obvious typo :-)

Greetings
Christian
