Title: RE: syslog config

Where should I add this "!*"?

I tried adding  one on a new line before my local4.emerg and killed syslog and restarted it. Nothing had changed. Everyghing ends up in messages.

You have put the new lines after a "!ppp" line, which means that it
will only log if the program name is ppp. Try adding "!*" to indicate
all programs.
