>Description:
In 5.x the following would direct messages from host globalinx _only_
to /var/log/globalinx.log:


  #/etc/syslog.conf
  -globalinx
  *.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none;mail.crit      /dev/console
  
  *.info;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail.none      /var/log/messages
  kern.debug                                            /var/log/messages
  
  auth,authpriv.info                                    /var/log/authlog
  
  cron.info                                             /var/log/cron
  ftp.info                                              /var/log/xferlog
  lpr.info                                              /var/log/lpd-errs
  mail.info                                             /var/log/maillog
  #uucp.info                                            /var/spool/uucp/ERRORS
  
  *.emerg                                                       *
  #*.notice                                             root
  
  # Save all globalinx log messages to separate file
  !*
  +globalinx
  *.*                                                   /var/log/globalinx.log

In current this same syslog.conf now logs to both /var/log/globalinx.log AND
/var/log/messages.

For both, syslogd is started with 'syslogd -b globalinx' , where globalinx is
an entry in /etc/hosts.  Adding '-U' option restores functionality, though it 
then
requires explict facility.level entries... 

>How-To-Repeat:
Setup in both 5.x and current and write log messages to syslogd remotely.

>Fix:
 ?
