[opensuse] rsyslog configuration
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? I also have one question about is file /var/run/rsyslog/additional-log-sockets.conf $AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/dhcp/dev/log $AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/dhcp6/dev/log $AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/named/dev/log These are dev files like the ones in /dev/? -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive http://www.coinhangout.com - coins! http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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
