Hi,
I have been trying to configure arpwatch on my Linux LAN. arpwatch has
no configuration parameter which allows me to send logs to a particular file
and all the logs are being sent to /var/log/messages. Can someone please
explain how to stop a daemon like arpwatch to stop populating
/var/log/messages and instead redirect all logs to some other file say
/var/log/arpwatch.log. I guess I need to modify /etc/syslog.conf in order to
accomplish this. I modified /etc/syslog.conf and it now looks like:
==
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none/var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* -/var/log/maillog
# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron
# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *
# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*/var/log/boot.log
!arpwatch
*.*
/var/log/arpwatch.log
=
Now all my logs for arpwatch are getting recorded to /var/log/arpwatch.log
along with /var/log/messages. However I'm still unable to stop arpwatch
from populating /var/log/messages.
Regards,
Mayank
