Re: [Wrapper-user] syslog logging

[Bruce P. <bru...@gm...>]

Leif,

What I'd suggest is that the default be LOG_USER, but allow for the user to
specify any of the LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7 vaules instead of
LOG_USER.  This would provide the ability to redirect the wrapper logs if
desired.  If I could, for example, have wrapper write everything out to
LOG_LOCAL3, then it would be a simple matter for me to modify my
/etc/syslog.conf so that anything corresponding to LOG_LOCAL3 gets
redirected to it's own file or to a remote loghost.  All I'd need to do is
add one of the following:

local3.*         /var/log/wrapper.log

or

local3.*        @loghost

I wouldn't recommend allowing any of the other values since they're meant
for other specific uses.
