My syslog-ng.conf is very tiny but functional... source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; log {source(src); destination(dest);}; This makes /var/log/messages start every line with src@hostname where hostname is the name of my machine. How can I stop src@hostname from being printed??? It is messing up log checking programs!
