Hello Managers

My original question was :

> I recently try to compile Qualcomm pop3 server with a new
> syslog facility i call 'pop' to log the pop messages in another file.
>
> I put the new facility 'pop' in the /etc/syslog.conf like the others
> The syslog says after restart : unknow facility pop

Solution :
there are local0 trhough local6 (or 7) at your disposal for other things

Here is the line i had to /etc/syslog.conf to log pop messages in a
separate file (not mail.log)

local0.debug /var/adm/syslog.dated/pop.log

And i change the sources of popper before i recompile. It works !

Now i'm doing the same for ftp & other internet relative growing files

Thanks !

Pierre
