Question on semantics

11 Apr 1999

      Hi,

Not to mean to be nitpicking, but the original syslog man pages state that
priority is defined to be:

priority ::= facility . level

So shouldn't the config semantics be:

filter f_messages {
        (
		level(info) or
		level(notice) or
		level(warn)
	) and 
        not facility(auth) and 
        not facility(authpriv) and 
        not facility(cron) and 
        not facility(daemon) and 
        not facility(mail) and 
        not facility(news);
};

or better yet,

filter f_messages { 
        level(info,notice,warn..crit) and 
        not facility(auth,authpriv,cron,daemon,mail,news);
};
