We are extremely pleased with our setup - everything works really well. But, I have a question about syslog.conf. We get many lines in our /var/log/messages of the form: Jan 14 15:55:03 pm1 dialnet: port S3 connection succeeded dest dial16.mosquito.com How can we cause these to not be written to the logfile? Is there a way to capture lines of the form: Jan 14 15:55:33 pm1 dialnet: port S6 jsmith.PPP login failed but ignore lines which are just successful connections? The documentation isn't really clear on this. -- Bruce Bauman Mosquito Net
