Another one of those "better" updates to a program (syslog) that used to be fairly easy to configure and now requires six programing classes to understand the conf syntax. This is sure to win over a hole slew of windows converts isn't it. What the f**k does this provide that is any better than plain old syslog?
For example, firewall log entries used to fill up the /var/log/warn file. By using the new daemon it is possible to filter them out and send then to a new separate file of their own. For example, my mail.info file was being filled with stupid debug messages from amavis-new. No longer, I filtered them out. I learned how to do that in less than two hours on my own. If you don't like the new daemon, you can easily enough revert to the old one. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
