Urk?  Did you really do daemon.*?!?  This is a bug.  daemon.notice and higher
can go to /var/log/messages, but definitely NOT debug/info messages.

If you want, feel free to create a commented out daemon.debug entry that
goes to /var/log/debug.log or /var/log/daemon.log (what linux does).

/var/log/messages should not be filled with bloat, which is why some stuff
was moved out (e.g. smtp).
