[Pdns-users] Log file for recursor

[Mathew Walker]

HI Guys,

	Im just wondering if there is ANY way to log the pdns_recursor output to a 
particular file!?

	My /var/log/messages file is filling up with:

Feb  9 10:43:01 ns1 pdns_recursor[24732]: TCP Remote 127.0.0.1 connected

	Im running the pdns server and recursor on the same box for legacy 
reasons. Its a RedHat 9 box.


	Also, Ive put:

local0.info                       -/var/log/pdns/info
local0.warn                       -/var/log/pdns/warn
local0.err                        /var/log/pdns/err

	in my /etc/syslog.conf as per the pdns documentation, and it does indeed 
write to these files (all though its the same
	data in every file!) but it also writes to my /var/log/messages file! 
Which is getting real anoying! Is there any way to stop this?

Thanks
