Nope. But you can do this: source s_all{ unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); }; destination d_messages { file("/var/log/messages"); }; log { source(s_all); destination(d_messages); }; That should do it. If you are using Solaris you should use source local { sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); }; Look in the syslog-ng/doc directory for sample configs.

I assume I must create this directory and file myself??? syslog-ng has *tons* of features. Please tell me how I can just throw everything into /var/log/messages. I don't require fancy stuff just yet. In old syslog.conf this would be: *.info /var/log/messages Will syslog-ng recognize a one line syslog-ng.conf containing this old style config??? thanks, Chris -- _______________________________________ Dr. Christian Seberino SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego Code 2363 49590 Lassing Road, Room A339 San Diego, CA 92152-6147 U.S.A.
