*.err;kern.debug;user.none /dev/console
*.err;kern.debug;user.none /var/adm/messages
auth.notice @authhost
mail.info /var/log/syslog
*.alert;user.none *
Notice that there can be multiple facility.level pairs on the left, each separated
from the others by semicolons. The first two lines handle messages for all facilities at
level err, all kernel messages (kern) at level debug and above, and none of the levels
(none) for the facility user. The first line sends those messages to the file /dev/
console, the computer??™s screen. The second appends its messages to the file /var/
adm/messages.
