Your terseness did not bother me. :) Though what I found was assuredly not in "man syslogd", your suggestion to use the "-vv" flags was nonetheless very helpful. :) Not only does it finally tell me what facility the router uses, but it seems the router uses a special facility just to log DoS attacks -- which is what I was primarily interested in anyway. So, thanks! - Mark
