Hi all,

I've been trying to get a particular syslog modification working here and
am having some problems that the manual page doesn't cover.

There are two issues here.

1)

For example, I have /var/log/messages set to log:

*.debug;mail,cron,security,auth,authpriv,local0.none

which works fine, however I log ntpd and inetd as follows:

!inetd
*.*                                                     /var/log/messages
!ntpd
*.*                                                     /var/log/ntpd

ntpd gets tossed in with /var/log/messages as well as /var/log/ntpd, which
makes sense, but I can't figure out how to make that !ntpd logging
excluded from the /var/log/messages log as I did above for cron/mail/etc.
Is this at all possible?

2)

I have a remote host (cisco 678, CBOS) logging to syslog on that machine,
and it works perfectly fine. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to
send all messages from the cisco's IP to it's own logfile instead of being
tossed in there with the other system logs?

Thanks in advance. If I've missed something silly that is covered in the
documentation, please feel free to point that out, I don't mind a RTFM :)
