Hi,

Over the last couple of days I have been trying to get syslogd to log 
messages received from remote hosts to different files.

I have read the man pages:

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=syslog.conf&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE>

However it is very confusing what exactly to add to the syslog.conf 
file. I have tried numerous variations but still no success.

Could someone please tell me or
send an example of their syslog.conf file showing how this is done.


Thanks in advance

Laurence Mayer
