Mike, > I see. Will local0 work just as well? If you use "local0", then the LDM log file will probably also contain messages from TCP -- which is probably not what you want. > I think I picked local1 at some point because local0 was already > in use for other things and I wasn't sure if it was wise to use it > for LDM as well. In general, it's not a good idea to mix log messages from different facilities. > If I local0 works just as well, I will change my config files. Because your "/etc/syslog.conf" file already contains entries for the "local0" facility, I recommend that you use the "local1" facility for the LDM and follow the instructions in my previous email.
