syslogd-listfiles looks in /etc/syslog.conf for lines containing "*.*" to decide what needs to be rotated daily. So in the line for /var/log/syslog, replace the "*.*" with the equivalent "*.debug". (This logs all facilities with priority "debug" and higher. "debug" is the lowest priority, though, so it matches all of them.) This doesn't seem too gross a change. -- Steve Reeves [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
