*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit          /dev/console

That would be this

*.err;kern.none;auth.none;mail.none          /dev/console

FreeBSD 4.6.  I have a server running that logs to syslog for
recording
interesting information.  It uses LOG_DAEMON facility so give the
standard syslog.conf entries of:

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

all of those records go to both console and messages in addition to
the
desire file specified with a ! statement.  Is there a way to modify
the
statements above such that log entries from the specified program
are
not sent to console or messages?  I couldn't find anything in the
man
pages on this.  I had thought I could add a "!prog" after mail.crit
in
the first entry to do that, but it appears that my memory is
corrupt.
