[plug] syslogd question

[Chris Griffin]

On My RedHat 6.1 DNS I have also installed syslogd. I want it to log all 
the normal things in the normal way. It does.
I would also like to get it to log messages from our routers and switches 
to a different file, say /var/log/cisco.log.
At present this function is done on a Solaris system that has the following 
line in the /etc/syslog.conf file:

*.debug                    /var/adm/log/cisco.log

On the Solaris system I only seem to get the router/switch messages in the 
cisco.log whereas on my Linux box I seem to get a lot of other messages as 
well.

Any thoughts on how I can restrict output to cisco.log to only get the 
relevant messages?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chris Griffin
