If you think of each log like a vhost and you define the qualities that are added to that inside the definition <Log mylogofsilliness> Destination /path/to/silly.log DestinationMode 0640 DestinationOwner root DestinationGroup log-readers Include mail.info kern.debug cron.emerg </Log> etc, etc, etc maybe that doesn't make sense, maybe it does - it is pretty easy to read, though. -sv _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog
