Hello,

I installed arpwatch, then added lines to /etc/syslog.conf:
!arpwatch
*.* /var/log/arpwatch.log

but arpwatch messages are also saved in /var/log/messages.

So if I don't want to have arpwatch messages in /var/log/messages then I need to use !!arpwatch line...


!!arpwatch
*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.cr it;news.err /var/log/messages

Is this a proper way doing this?

Thanks
