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.
