I wasted an afternoon once figuring this out, the man pages don't make it as clear as it should be. Basically, "*" is valid for facilities, but not for levels. A level means "log everything at this level and above". Since debug is the lowest level, it catches everything. If you wanted to catch every single message, you would use *.debug Hope this helps. - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
