RE: syslog configYou probably want to add "local4.none" to the
/var/log/messages line; this will prevent local4 messages from being logged
in that file.

Where should I add this "!*"?
I tried adding one on a new line before my local4.emerg and killed syslog
and restarted it. Nothing had changed. Everyghing ends up in messages.

You have put the new lines after a "!ppp" line, which means that it
will only log if the program name is ppp. Try adding "!*" to indicate
all programs.
