<p>Don't know how that slipped in there. And syslog-ng never
mentioned it. It's fixed now, and the behavior is unchanged. sshd
messages still appear in /var/log/messages.</p>

filter samba { program("samba"); };<br>
filter ssh_messages { facility("AUTH") and level("INFO");

filter syslog { not filter("ssh_messages") and not
filter("samba"); };<br>

destination console { file("/dev/tty12"); };<br>
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };<br>
