I am in professional wireless business. My solution was to deinstall syslog and install syslog-ng, it's supports separation based on IP, name, etc..
thanks. I was hoping for some kind of hack so I wouldn't need to do that.
I am not aware of any hack to do that. My extensive research suggested it can not be done with syslog.
I think you're right. but I can visualize a horrid hack (that I don't want to do, but nevertheless...). it looks as if in syslog.conf you can specify either a file to write to for each class of data. or you can specify a pipe (a fifo, I think). if you had a process listening on that fifo it could do some filtering for you. but I don't think I want to trust my system logging to such a hack.
