Hello All:

I am trying to set up a few facilities to receive syslog info from  
various network devices.  In all cases, not only do the arriving  
packets get logged to the logfile configured, but they also get logged  
to /var/log/messages.  I would like messages to be used only for  
system-related issues.  I have included the relevant snippets from my  
syslog.conf file.  Could someone please help me figure out what I'm  
doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mike
