The "service-name" is a synonym for the program (executable) name logged by syslog, not the logging facility. Using "-n myslapd2" would be the same as copying or linking the slapd executable to 'myslapd2' and executing it via that name. "syslog-local-user" does define a facility to use, but of course you can only define the local facilities. All of the facilities are pre-defined and you can't just make one up, thus the purpose of the "local" facilites. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
