I was trying this configuration that don't works: ------------------------- # UNIDATA's LDM configuration filter f_ldm { facility(local0); }; destination ldmd { file("/usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log" owner(ldm) group(unidata) perm(0644) ); }; log { source(src); filter(f_ldm); destination(ldmd); }; ------------------------- When I try this another configuration, it works: ------------------------- # UNIDATA's LDM configuration filter f_ldm { facility(local0); }; destination ldmd { file("/var/log/ldm/ldmd.log" owner(ldm) group(unidata) perm(0644) ); }; log { source(src); filter(f_ldm); destination(ldmd); }; ------------------------- Could you help me about?

I haven't tried doing that but I guess it would work well as long as you create the destination facility for that directory and the daemon user has the correct permissions on the file. -- Regards,
