[SunHELP] syslog

[Joe Pampel]

The "local" bit is just a way to assign a "name" of some kind AFAIK. I =
made each of our
routers a different local #, although truth be told I memorized the IP's =
about the same time
I remembered the Local #'s.. ;-)

In cisco it looks like:

logging trap debugging
logging facility local4
logging 192.168.0.1

Hi all,
I have a network engeneer asking me to set up a syslog server for his
routers.  He gave me some instructions entitled "Setting Up the Syslog
Facility on a Sun Workstation"  It states that all I have to do is add a
line to syslog.conf, create a log file with the right perms and restart
syslogd.  The line is as follows for syslog.conf " local7.debug
/var/adm/logname"
I did some checking and found that local0-7 is reserved for local use
and that the router has to be configured to use the same level 0 through
7.
What I would like to know is, just what exactly is local0-7, and what is
reserved for local use supposed to mean, since it is not just local
apparently?
Thanks for any help.
