Subject: Syslog Configuration Question

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
