I understand it's been quite some time since it was added, but I have been bitten by it just now. I am adding per-daemon .conf files for ports in /usr/local/etc/syslog.d/ and noticed that none of them were working. An example entry is: $ cat /usr/local/etc/syslog.d/dhcpd.conf !dhcpd *.* /var/log/dhcpd.log Then I noticed the daemon.info entry in /etc/syslog.conf and had to workaround it like below: !-dhcpd daemon.info /var/log/daemon.log !+dhcpd Given the above, I'm wondering if we could move the daemon.info entry to the bottom *after* we read the include dirs, so it would only select everything that is not handled already?
