Hello all,

I am trying to have different cisco routers log to a different log file. The log file is located on a 6.2 box running the stock syslogd. For what it is worth I have nine of these, only three are shown

syslogd is running with -n -vv -d at the moment.. I did not have to specify -a 10.20.250.54:* to allow it to log.. (is that part of the problem..?)

But the question is.. I do get logs from the respective hosts in the log files that I have specified, but I do not understand why syslogd is also catching them in the original local7.* /var/log/router/3620.log when as far as I can tell they are setup correctly.

below is the relevant portions of the syslog.conf.

 [~]# 18 > egrep -v "#" /etc/syslog.conf  | cat -n

    32  *.*                                     /var/log/ppp.log



and with syslogd in debug mode I see this:

and tcvthname(10.20.250.38)
logmsg: pri 276, flags 0, from 10.20.250.38, msg 1262: Jun 14 18:13:04.770: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list 2044 denied udp 10.20.18.28(1039) -> 10.20.0.212(161), 1 packet

Logging to FILE /var/log/router/3620.log

I do not understand why the local7.* is still getting caught.. From what I understood from the man page, the - tells it to stop logging from that host.

Whatever the last 'host' entry is in the syslog.conf that host will not log into both files.

from the 10.20.0.10 host I have configured syslog:

local7.*  @10.20.0.29
and when I run logger:

date | logger -p local7.debug

cvthname(10.20.0.10)
logmsg: pri 277, flags 0, from 10.20.0.10, msg Jun 14 14:21:03 bcook: Thu Jun 14 14:21:03 EDT 2007
Logging to FILE /var/log/router/tcentral.log

I get what I think I should..

Why do the previous entries not act the same as the last one?

What am I missing?
