 We are a small ISP using a Livingston Portmaster attached to a couple 
 of FreeBSD machines. 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.
