Re: [squid-users] squid logging to syslogd

At Colin's suggestion, I configured syslog.conf like so:

local4.emerg /var/log/squidlog
local4.alert /var/log/squidlog
local4.crit /var/log/squidlog
local4.err /var/log/squidlog
local4.info /var/log/squidlog
local4.notice /var/log/squidlog

Pretty much tried to catch whatever I could, since I don't
what priority or priorities local4 is configured to report.

By way of example, I also have other (working!) local
configurations, such as:

local1.info /var/log/comlog
local6.info /var/log/gatzlog
local6.notice /dev/stemlog

Okay, so I restarted syslogd, then shutdown and started squid
with the -s option.

 10709 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -s
 10711 ? S 0:05 (squid) -s

BTW, this is squid STABLE2 (I need to upgrade to STABLE4 soon...).

I'm getting Nothing in the /var/log/squidlog, but I am getting
everything sent to the default logging,

/usr/local/squid/logs/{cache.log,access.log,store.log}

Any idea how to get this switched off and over to using syslog?

Ultimately, I'd like to send all the logging info to a loghost...
