configure;make;make install of syslog-ng source did not create /etc/syslog-ng directory with /etc/syslog-ng.conf ready to go. 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.
