Do you mean even in 10.2?? We need to find the maintainer for that and slap him on the head :-)
The only problem I ever had with syslog-ng's default setup went away because I discovered a cron feature I thought was not available to an ordinary user. However, without that feature, it still would have been very easy to resolve the problem within syslog-ng, just by creating a new filter and excluding my filter from another filter. With syslogd, I think getting rid of all those log entries might well be next to impossible. I do not even understand why syslogd is even still included in the distribution, unless it is for die-hard admins who think anything that can be understood by ordinary folk is evil :-) -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
