Well, I have it working for the time being, like this. In
/etc/syslog.conf :
DELETE THIS LINE:
*.info /var/log/messages
WITH THESE LINES:
auth.info;cron.inof;lpr.info;syslog.info /var/log/messages
user.info;local0.info;local1.info;local2.info /var/log/messages
local3.info;local4.info;local5.info;local6.info /var/log/messages
local7.info /var/log/messages
daemon.info /var/log/daemon
ENDS
This will log a bunch of stuff to /var/log/daemon instead of
to messages. It makes a difference because the daemon log
file is for routine stuff. Notice that error messages,
emergencies, critical stuff etc. still goes to /var/log/messages
(and even the console if you have it that way).
It is not the best fix, but it works. This is on BIND 8 which
I use here, but it should work identically with BIND 4.
Does anyone have a more elegant way of writing it out?
