Actually, it appears to be a duplicate of what is seen in >/home/ldm/logs/ldmd.log.

Yes, I do have a message for local0.debug to route that >stuff to /home/ldm/logs/ldmd.log, and that appears to be working. So why >he entires in /var/log/messages? You do have an entry for local0.debug in /etc/syslog.conf, but you do not have an entry for local0.none: You have this: # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages when you should have this: # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none /var/log/messages >Sleep-deprived sysadmins want to know. :-) Make the change to /etc/syslog.conf and then send a HUP to syslogd as 'root' or run 'hupsyslog' as 'ldm'.
