My isc_dhcpd logs are kind of chatty, and I'd like to send them to
their own log.  I tried appending the following to syslogd.conf:

!dhcpd
*.* /var/log/dhcpd

This works, but the dhcpd messages still appear in /var/log/daemon as
well.

Shouldn't this actually be:

   !!dhcpd
   *.*    /var/log/dhcpd
   !*

at the start of the file? At least, that's my reading of syslog.conf(5): the two exclamation marks will cause a match on 'dhcpd' to _only_ result in the listed action (with no further evaluation of the file, and thus no further opportunities for logging to be done), and the '!*' means that further evaluation will happen if there _isn't_ such a match.
