Hello all,

I'm trying to send daemon.notice messages coming from inetd to a different
file from /var/adm/messages (/var/log/notice, for instance). I don't want to
switch from syslog to syslog-ng.

The problem is that syslog, while sending daemon.notice messages to
/var/log/notice, keeps sending them also to /var/log/messages, cluttering
it. That was the original problem to solve, indeed.

This is my current /etc/syslog.conf file:




*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice   /dev/console
*.alert                         root
*.emerg                         *

*.debug                         /var/adm/messages
daemon.notice                   /var/log/notice




This way, there's still the conflict produced by the fact that, following
what the manual says, all "daemon" messages of higher priority than "notice"
will also be logged into /var/log/notice. If I managed to take
daemon.noticemessages off /var/adm/messages, I'd like the
/var/adm/messages file to miss
*only* daemon.notice lines, not others (daemon,warning, daemon,err, etc.).


Any ideas on how to avoid logging daemon.notice lines (and just that) in
/var/adm/messages?


TIA,
