So you have two problems if I read this right:
 1) you're still logging to /var/log/messages
 2) you're not logging to /var/log/HOSTS/$hostname

To fix #1 you'll have to remove the "log{};" lines that send logs to the
/var/log/messages file (and to any other files you don't want written.
Simple enough.

To fix #2 you probably only have to create /var/log/HOSTS - syslog-ng
won't do that for you.

Post back to the list if this doesn't fix things up or I misinterpreted
your post.

We can't prove that God exists. However, we can prove that if God does
exist, he's pretty good at math. In fact, we can prove that even if
God doesn't exist, he's still pretty good at math.
