At work I run a linux box on my desktop. At the moment I have a few test network devices logging to this box so I can keep an eye on them, on facilities local0, local1, and local7. So i have separate files for them to go into, in my syslog.conf:

#
# First some standard logfiles. Log by facility.
#

auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
#cron.* /var/log/cron.log
daemon.* -/var/log/daemon.log
kern.* -/var/log/kern.log
lpr.* -/var/log/lpr.log
mail.* -/var/log/mail.log
user.* -/var/log/user.log
uucp.* /var/log/uucp.log
local0.* -/var/log/local0.log
local1.* -/var/log/local1.log
local7.* -/var/log/local7.log

now: is there any way I can keep them from also going into /var/log/messages, or is that file supposed to catch everything?
