Syslog To RHEL From Network Devices

I am building some Red Hat Syslog servers to house the syslog output of network gear. So far I have gotten the devices to send syslog data to the server and the server records it. But, it is all going to the "messages" file. How do I send the specific syslog streams to a file that is specific to the system that sent it.

Thanks...

1	Try rsyslog. It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same configuration file syntax. Your question is answered in their FAQ at http://www.rsyslog.com/Topic3.phtml link answered 11 May '10, 02:12 Ricky Wee 71●1●3 accept rate: 0%
