I would say that the *.debug is resulting in local4.debug messages being
sent to /var/log/messages. I have not seen explicit documenation to say the
the options are parsed left to right using the last match but it makes sence
to me. Try...
*.debug;local4.none /var/log/messages
... I think. For instance my messages file is configured as...
# Log anything (except kernel.info or mail) of level info or higher.
*.info;kern.!=info;mail.none /var/log/messages
... which seems to work for me. Also, in your message you say local7 but in
your example you say local4 - could you have got them mixed up somewhere in
your config file?
