Hi, On a squid on Redhat EL , syslog-ng is installed and while also squid is logging on the local itself also its configured to send the logs also to an other syslog-ng server. I dont know if it begin from the begiing of this sys-logng and other configuration , it seems that now also on the squid server send the logs also to the its /var/log/messages file. After commenting the syslog-ng servers related config on squid configuration file it stopped sending to var/log mesages. How and why this var/log/mesaages thing happened any idea?
"rpm -q --changelog squid" will give you the documentation available for the changes made to the RPM. Run that command through "less" or "grep" to search for any mention of "syslog".
Squid (as distributed from squid-cache.org) exclusively uses it's own logging routines.
