Entries being logged to /var/log/messages as well as /var/log/HOSTS//$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST-$YEAR-$MONTH

29 Jan 2005

      Hi, I'm new to syslog-ng and have configured it to be a loghost for many different firewall appliances. So I setup an automatic sorting entry as per the faq as follows:

destination std {
        file("/var/log/HOSTS/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST-$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY"
                owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes)
        );

Which works prefect The only problem is that it's also putting them in the /var/log/messages log.

How Can I stop the behavior as it's creating a huge /var/log/messages log.

Thanks
