I've cc'd -questions to get this into the archives.. On with it.. Actually popper already logs to local0.. :) Once I found that, A little `man syslog.conf` digging and I figured out how to re-direct it to another log and stop it from going to /var/log/messages. As well as gathering a fairly good grip on syslog.conf.. :) Heres the revelent stuff from my /etc/syslog.conf: (Watch the wrap) # /etc/syslog.conf *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit;local0.none /var/log/messages local0.* /var/log/popper.log Works like a champ.. Thanks all. -Enjoy Gary <tcg@cguy.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...
