[tslug] Syslog Question

2003-10-28 Thread Benjamin Story
Hi all,

I'm setting up a syslog server to handle logs from all of my Cisco
equipment.  Right now I have different classes of equipment using
different syslog facilities to allow me to split up the logs.  Is
there a way to have syslog log everything except a certain facility to
/var/log/messages without having to explicitly list everything that I
do want logged?

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is yes.  In
syslog.conf, a line such as:

*.*;local3.none /var/log/messages

will put all log messages in to the file except for those that come
from the local3 facility.  The same thing is accomplished by:

*.*;!local3.*   /var/log/messages

Is this what you're asking?

Bingo!  Thanks for the help.  I knew it had to be simple, but I just
wasn't finding the syntax listed anywhere.

I actually play around with vegastrike last week, but decided to wait for 
there to be less bugs.

 Vega Strike is a rather neat GPL space simulation/shoot 'em up game:

 An offshoot (for all of you Star Trek fans) is Vega Trek which is still
 in the early stages, but they have playable Mac and Win versions
 (currently 0.2.0).  It can be installed on Linux, but it's a bit
 interesting as you have to copy the data on top of an already existing
 Vega Strike install:
