I am trying to configure syslog.conf to send messages from one of my hosts
to a select file for that host. The host is currently sending messages to
the syslog server and they are being logged but I would like to have all
the messages from this host go to a separate file. FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/syslog.conf,v 1.13.2.4 2003/05/12 13:59:23 yar Exp $

# Spaces ARE valid field separators in this file. However,
# other *nix-like systems still insist on using tabs as field
# separators. If you are sharing this file between systems, you
# may want to use only tabs as field separators here.
# Consult the syslog.conf(5) manpage.
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console
*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err
/var/log/messages
+caioa.calarts.edu*.* /var/log/caioa.log
<------- this is the line I need help with
security.* /var/log/security

# uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log
#console.info /var/log/console.log
# uncomment this to enable logging of all log messages to /var/log/all.log
# touch /var/log/all.log and chmod it to mode 600 before it will work
*.* /var/log/all.log
# uncomment this to enable logging to a remote loghost named loghost
#*.* @loghost
The file /var/log/caioa.log exists and is 600. I got the syntax off a web
page, but it is not working for me and I don't see anything in the man page
that expalins how to do it.
Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.
