I have a fairly simple requirement that I can't seem to get working with syslogd/syslog.conf. I would like all messages generated by a particular program to go to a particular file, and nowhere else. Is that possible? For example, this line will accomplish the first half of what I want: !telnetd *.* /var/log/telnetd.log The only problem is that the telnetd messages go to *both* /var/log/messages as well as /var/log/telnetd.log. How do I tell syslogd not to send to both? I know you can disable certain facilities with the "none" level, but that affects all messages, not just those coming from a particular program. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org, taob@ican.net) Systems and Network Administrator, Internet Canada Corp.
