You can't configure the normal syslog daemon to separate the messages
into separate files based on the hosts from which they were received. The
syslog facility allows separation and filtering based on the "facility"
and "severity". Do a "man syslogd.conf" for more info
To do what you want feed the messages into a named pipe that is
processed by a script.
To set this up create a file that is a named pipe
mkfifo /var/log/hostLogging
In your rc.local system init script add a line that starts up the script
which reads from this pipe
MyHostLogScript < /var/log/hostLogging
Add a line to /etc/syslog.conf like:
*.* |/var/log/hostLogging
And create the script MyHostLogScript which reads the output of the pipe
and sends the output from each host to its own respective file.
