Well, you may want to check if your syslog is doing its job correctly first: $ logger -i -p local6.info "this is just a test" the message should appear in the right file. If not, you've got a problem with your syslog configuration. There is no 'definition' of what goes into which localx, or any other facility. Applications ask for a certain message to be logged with a certain facility and a certain priority tagged to it. That's all. As for where local6 is defined in cyrus: $ cd cyrus-imapd-2.2.3 # this is the first tree i stepped into $ ./configure --help | fgrep syslog --with-syslogfacility=FACILITY set the syslog facility to use (default LOCAL6) It's a compile time option you can set with configure. In some previous releases, LOCAL6 was simply hardcoded if I remember well. > > Doug > > > Confidential: This electronic message and all contents contain information from > Financial Credit Services which may be privileged, confidential or otherwise > protected from disclosure.
