I may be posting to the wrong list here, and in that case I apologize in advance, but is there a way to configure the standard Centos 5 syslog daemon to use more local facilities than local0 to local7?
Thank you.

Nope.
Thanks. Can any of the syslog alternatives be configured to have more local facilities than what's available in syslog (I think syslog-ng has the same problem) ? -- m

Unfortunately no. The facilities are defined at the C level; see man 3 syslog for more details.
Thank you.

As Ignacio has already said, it's pretty much not possible, however you can use rsyslog and its regex filtering capability to sort logs in a more sane fashion, assuming that's what you're going after. Have a look at the rsyslog documentation for their filtering capabilities.
Thanks, I'll check the rsyslog documentation out. I have several apps that generate logs and I want to keep the log statements generated by each app separate. Syslog is great, just that the number of local facilities is not enough. -- m
