#
# /etc/syslog.conf 	syslog configuration file.
#
# This file is processed by m4 so be careful to quote (`') names
# that match m4 reserved words.  Also, within ifdef's, arguments
# containing commas must be quoted.
#
# History: <1> Oct.12'2000 Sean Boran
#              New example for workstations and small servers
#              Use /var/adm/messages rather that separate files per facility.
#
# Facilities: 	kern		Priorities:	emerg 
#		user		(highest first)	alert
#		mail				crit
#		daemon				err
#		auth				warning
#		syslog				notice
#		lpr				info
#		mark (timestamps)		debug	
#               news
#               uucp
#               cron                            none    
#               local0..7                [don't send any messages]
#
# Funnies:     0. 'mail.info' logs all mail messages of priority
#		  'info' OR HIGHER (i.e. not just priority 'info')!
#	       1. you can do *.priority but not facility.*  !!
#	       2. do "m4 syslog.conf" to check preprossing
#	       3. Must use tabs (not spaces) between selection and action
#	       4. "kern,mail.info" logs kern & mail messages of
#		  at least priority info. The same for other combinations.
#	       5. Long lines don't work.
#	       6. You can have MAXIMUM 20 (non comment) lines in this file.
#		  (The rest are silently ignored..)
#
# Debugging:	. start syslogd with "-d" to enable debug output
#		. send a HUP to syslogd each time you change this file
#		. use /usr/ucb/logger to send test messages to 
#		  each facility.priority, for axample:
#                 /usr/ucb/logger -p mail.warn "test from sean"

### 1. What do we want logged on the console?
# For lots of messages on the console uncomment this:
#*.err;kern.warning;auth.err;daemon.err		/dev/console
# For minimal console messages, such as "SU":
auth.err	/dev/console

### 2. What do we want written to logged on user's terminals?
# To alert logged on root or operator user to important events:
#*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err			operator
#*.alert					root
# display emergencies on all terminals (uses WALL)
*.emerg			*

### 3. Are regular timstamps needed?
# print time on console every 20mins (not needed if you have contool)
#mark.*			/dev/console

### 4. What do we want logged locally, if no remote logserver?
# Log ALL messages, except debug stuff to /var/adm/message,
# unless there is a loghost
#*.info			ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/adm/messages, @loghost)

### 5. What do we want to log locally, even if there is a remote
###    logserver?
# Log ALL errors:
*.debug				/var/adm/messages
