[PLUG] Syslog Q


Hope somebody can help me.
 
I use Red Hat 6. The syslog.conf has a line:
 
*.info,mail.none,authpriv.none                 /var/log/messages
 
which logs any message classified as type "info" or higher to the file messages in /var/log.
 
I also added a line:
 
kern.*     /var/log/kernel.log
 
because I want all kernel messages in kernel.log, and not in messages.
 
Probably is, I'm getting the kernel messages in *both* places. I know I have to get rid of the "*.info", and instead should list the services individually.
 
But what are all the services? I see other entries that mention "Mail. ..." and "news. ..." and "authpriv. ...", so I assume I can specify "mail.info, news.info, authpriv.info". What would the others be? Or where can I look this type of information out?
