In the last episode (Mar 23), Theodore Trubetskoy said:
I'm wondering if it is an error in the syslog.conf man.
man in DESCRIPTION part states:
A block will only log messages corresponding to the most recent
program and hostname specifications given.
And EXAMPLES part reads:
# Save ftpd transactions along with mail and news
!ftpd
*.* /var/log/spoolerr
# Log all security messages to a separate file.
security.*/var/log/security
# Log all writes to /dev/console to a separate file.
console.* /var/log/console.log
What means that security and console facilities messages will be
logged only if they came from ftpd program, and obviously this was
not intended in the example.
If you agree it is an error, what is the right way to correct one?
I think each example was meant to stand alone, but it might be nice if
the ftpd example had a !* line at the end, to show how to reset the
program specification back to the default in a real config file.
