Following up to my own posts, tut tut. As has just been pointed out to me the faility@ convention doesn't work on filers. Anyone have any ideas on how to point the filer to a different faility?
directing to a different facility? I've never seen such a syntax in the syslogd/syslog.conf files I've encountered ("standard" BSD, SunOS, Solaris, Irix, AIX) allowing you to do such a thing (and I can't find that in a recent Debian system either.)
That aside, if you are looking for better filtering at the receiving log host, consider using a different syslogd there (the firewall-toolkit one for example, with its useful regexp features) or (my preference) feeding all your interesting messages into your standard event-handling system.
