FreeBSD 4.6. I have a server running that logs to syslog for recording interesting information. It uses LOG_DAEMON facility so give the standard syslog.conf entries of: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages all of those records go to both console and messages in addition to the desire file specified with a ! statement. Is there a way to modify the statements above such that log entries from the specified program are not sent to console or messages? I couldn't find anything in the man pages on this. I had thought I could add a "!prog" after mail.crit in the first entry to do that, but it appears that my memory is corrupt.
