I just recently got socksd up and running for a win95 box running on local
ethernet to my Linux box which has a PPP link.  The win95 box has a local IP
only, and doesn't have access to regular internet.

I was noseying around my system, wondering why I had so little space left in
/var, and I realised that the logging that socksd does is humongous.

I want to be able to tell syslogd() to take the logging information generated
by socksd and dump it to /dev/null.  I assume this should be possible, without
loosing any of the other logging information that gets put in the messages,
syslog and debug files.

I have read over the manual page on syslog.conf, and to say the least, it is
confusing.

my /etc/syslog.conf looks like this:

*.warn                                          /usr/adm/syslog
kern.*                                          /usr/adm/kernel
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=none                       /usr/adm/messages
*.=debug;*.=err;*.=notice                       /usr/adm/debug
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none                  /var/adm/messages
mail.*                                          /var/adm/maillog


hmm, I just realised I havethe logging for notice on there
twice.

but - I don't think that has anythign to do with redirecting socks logging to 
/dev/null

any help would be GREATELY appreciated.
