Re: popa3d that *doesn't* use syslog for logging?

recompile popa3d... Before it, RTFInstall instructions-- change the logging
facility on params.h from default to

#define SYSLOG_FACILITY                 LOG_LOCAL0

create an entry for that login facility on your /etc/syslog.conf file. 

Restart syslog (slackware = /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog restart)

do not ask me about any other distros becaue I do not know them.

The other and for sure shortcut is. 

Stop syslog (Slackware = /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog stop)

Make the following entry on your /etc/syslog.conf file 

#vi /etc/syslog.conf

!!popa3d
*.*                      -/var/log/popa3d

Since /var/log/messages is set to capture anything info or higher or lower than
