Yes, Juergen, using LOCAL? facilities is exactly what you want. Unfortunately, the facility used by services is, in general, compiled in. There's no "standard" way to split daemon.log though you could certainly write a perl script to do it. In general since the format is '<date> <host> <program[pid]>' writing such a script wouldn't be too difficult.
