log files

[Mark Musone]

this wont work. a facility name is not a process name. take a look at
the syslog.conf man pages..
Valid facilities are: auth, authpriv, cron,daemon, kern, lpr, mail,
mark, news, security (same as  auth),  syslog,
       user,  uucp and local0 through local7.

I'll give this one a shot for now, in lieu of the mysql stuff, just lack
of time. Thanks Bob

Yeah, it requires mangling the syslog.conf file on the system.  It's in
/etc
and there is some voodoo to it but it's not too bac.
 
I would imagine adding a line like:
 
dhcpd.*             -/var/log/dhcpd
 
would do dhcp for you...  Just a guess 'cuz I haven't actually tried it.
 
Cheers!

Anyone know of an easy way to have certain services send there log 
messages to a different place. For instance, to send DHCP messages to a 
different file other than the standard /var/log/messages. Or for any 
other service like PPP. It would make reading the log files much better.
