[syslog-ng] Newbie Looking for Help

I want to setup a syslog-ng server to do syslogging for my network. So far
it's easy, the part I'm having trouble with, and I'm not even sure if it's
possible, is I want to log by device to it's own individual syslog file.
Hence the reason for using syslog-ng vice sysklogd, I think the syntax would
be something as follows, but I could be way off base.
device1 /var/log/network/device1
log {
source(device1)
filter (?????)
destination (?????)
};
I also don't understand where to define the facilities as I did in standard
syslog. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One other quick question,
when I do a default install of syslog-ng (on Debian Etch), it automatically
logs to the tty. Is this correct for all versions, and whether it is or
it's not, how do I stop it?
Thanks again,
Mark
