Thanks Bruce, On my system, [rango@localhost:] locate syslog.conf /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/init/rsyslog.conf /usr/share/man/man5/rsyslog.conf.5.gz /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.conffiles Also there is a configuration file under /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf which has the rules for logging messages in various files, I guess I need to edit this file. As of now I'm also looking into the information available here: http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Configuration_Samples Regards, Amit On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 7:19 PM, Bruce Rowen <browen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > syslog.conf > > On Jun 25, 2011, at 7:40 AM, amit mehta wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I've written some kernel modules using kprobes infrastructure >> to grab some more information on network packets.
