Syslog question

I have the following in /etc/syslog.conf. Notice lines (1) and (3).
I want to log news.notice ONLY in /var/log/news/news.notice but instead of
that I have the same output both in /var/log/news/news.notice and
/var/log/messages. If I remove *.notice from line (3) I am afraid that I
would not log any other *.notice messages.

(1) news.notice
/var/log/news/news.notice
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit          /dev/console
(3) *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit          /var/log/messages

What should I modify, before I kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`.


Thanks...
