Re: Adding new logging to syslog

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

Found my own answer in the documention of ht://dig. The logging is
hard-coded to a facility of LOG_LOCAL5 and a default level of LOG_INFO, so
in my /etc/syslog.conf file I had to change the line to:

local5.info						/var/log/htsearch

Always a good idea to RTFM.
