#1 Re: question about syslog Posted by mwr (24.158.xx.xx) on Mon 17 Dec 2007 at 15:00 With the setup you show, if cron (or any other program) logs with the auth or authpriv facility, it'll end up in auth.log. I don't think you can filter it otherwise with syslog, so you'd have to switch to something like syslog-ng. See here for a simple example of filtering one program's output differently than others.
