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? -- Jon Beck, PhD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Assoc Professor, Computer Science 2162 Violette Hall Truman State University 660-785-7233 Kirksville, MO 63501 http://vh216202.truman.edu/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
