Right now, bigsister is defaulting to using "daemon" as a facility. Your syslog.conf is probably configured to send *.info (ie: all facilities, with severity info or higher, perhaps with some exceptions like cron.none) to /var/log messages. you could change this by taking advantage of one of the unused "local" facilities. (note: all theoretical, I've not tested this but it should work) quick example syslog.conf (using local5): -------- *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local5.none; /var/log/messages local5.* /var/log/bigsister --------- note I added local5.none to the /var/log/messages specs to prevent these from going to both files. Otherwise syslog WILL write it to both files at the same time. and /etc/bigsister/adm/resources: --------- *.log_facility=local5 --------- You could also try editing /etc/bigsister/resources, but that warns to to only edit the adm/resources file. This file, and directory, don't even exist on my box, but I'm assuming that's where they belong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
