Hi all.
Not sure if this is best suited to this forum or another, but here goes...
I have a Netgear DG834g wirless ADSL modem router, networked wirelessly to my Powerbook running OS X 10.3.9. My intention is to have log messages from the router sent via syslog to the Powerbook /var/log/netgear.log.
I have edited syslog.conf to redirect local0.* to /var/log/netgear.log This works and the majority of logs are sent to the correct file.
However I still have a few messages sent from the router (10.0.1.2) to /var/log/system.log - those being related to authorisation, router shutting down and starting up etc. Having run syslogd in debug mode (-d) the messages being routed to system.log seem to have a pri (facility and log level) of 46 and 56. These octal values seem to map to syslog.auth and syslog.notice or something similar (not in front of my mac at the mo!)
So to my question - is there any way of forcing messages from a single source (10.0.1.2) (as distinct from facility) to a different log file?
Cheers for any input!
