[TriLUG] syslog.conf

[Scott Lundgren]

I'm having a brain dead afternoon with syslog.conf on Solaris 9. I'm  
starting up pure-ftpd as a standalone daemon as the root user and the  
errors from the application are dumping into /var/adm/messages rather  
than it's own log file where I'd like for it go. 'man syslog.conf'  
shows me my choices for facilities are user, kern, mail,  
daemon,auth,lpr and news. So ftp or local2 do not seem to be choices  
to redirect. What should syslog.conf be to redirect the error  
messages of pure-ftpd to its own file?

Here's my /etc/syslog.conf

*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit      /var/adm/messages
*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                              operator
*.alert                                                                  
   root
*.emerg                                                               *

# portions i've added
# user processes
user.err                                                               / 
var/adm/user

# daemon proceses
daemon.err                                                       /var/ 
adm/daemon

and still I get in /var/log/messages
