I have what I think is a fairly standard syslog.conf (in other words, I haven't tinkered with it yet), the non-commented parts of which I've pasted below.
I've been running leafnode, which generates a lot of news.info syslog entries -- making up over 95% of /var/log/syslog -- so I want to stop logging news.info at all, but without interfering with anything else. I've read various man pages but I can't figure out how to subtract that from /var/log/syslog. What do I need to put where in order to achieve this?
