You have to tell syslog not to add these messages to the other log files. The format of the syslog.conf is well documented, see man syslog.conf. For a hint: This line writes /var/log/syslog for me: *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog This means: Log everything of all levels (*.*), but for auth and authpriv, log level none. This would also ignore all local6 messages: *.*;auth,authpriv.none;local6.none -/var/log/syslog You probably have to change some more lines that match *. in a similar way. Cheers, Udo
