Hello
I'm looking over the rsyslog configuration filed and I'm wondering about them seeming to be smaller than other systems and they are logging a lot of detail into /var/log/messages
which is good...
All the authorization and pam failures are loading into /var/log/message but I'm not sure why
I see one line
*.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages
which is a puzzle. What exactly does *.* mean in this context. Does that mean that everything logs into /var/log/messages, regardless of where else it log. That doens't seem to match the behavior of the system.
Does it mean that everything that is not matched explicitely is logged into /var/log/messages? Doesn't this make mail.none;news.none redundant?
No, it means log everything BUT mail and news. Hope this helps. Also Happy New Year Ken -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
