Well that was it, I used spaces instead of a tab. I even looked in a bunch of my books and while there is much about the syslog facility, none mention using tabs to separate the file name from the other names. The error, I would imagine, would come from when syslogd first runs on bootup, reads the .conf file and see's spaces where there should have been tabs. At anyrate, learned what I needed to know about syslog now. Thanks.
