[syslog-ng]Re: Level/Priority of 'none'

[Brad Stockdale]

Hello all,

    I'm a newbie to syslog-ng, and am trying to convert our local servers 
from sysklogd to syslog-ng... I'm having a bit of a problem, though... I 
might just be blind to the answer of this question, though... It seems 
pretty simple...

    In the syslog.conf file that is currently in place (the default redhat 
one), there's a line that reads:

>*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none                /var/log/messages

    Seems logical...

    How do I do the same thing in syslog-ng? The syslog.conf manpages state:

>The keyword none stands for no priority of the given facility.

    So, if I'm understanding this right, syslog was receiving a facility 
name, but no level/priority setting? And this mapped to "none."

    Does syslog-ng provide a similar thing?

    Or do these daemons really send out the facility and level/priority, 
but it's some default one?

    Thanks for any help in advance... I'm sure this is an easy thing to 
fix, but just don't know the internals of syslog or syslog-ng very well 
yet... I've always just used the default configuration and left things alone...

Thanks in advance,
Brad
