Hi,

I have two C++ programs, one uses LOCAL0 and the other uses LOCAL1. At
the moment, I tested it on fedora 9, but it will finally move to a
CentOS 5 to remotely log messages to a log server on fedora 9. I
configured following to the rsyslog.conf in Fedora 9:

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none;local1.none
/var/log/messages

local0.* /tmp/local0.log

local1.* /tmp/local1.log

Now the program writes to LOCAL0 worked fine, all messages went to the
local0.log file. But the program writes to LOCAL1 did not work, the
messages still went to /var/log/messages, no messages in local1.log.

I then made following tests which even more confusing me:

logger -p 1 local1.info "testing", message went to /var/log/messages
logger -p local1.info "testing", message went to local1.log

logger -p 1 local0.info "testing", message went to /var/log/messages
logger -p local0.info "testing", message went to local0.log

Seems messages went to different log depending on different
priorities? What I am missing here?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jupiter
