Thanks Jukka.

I have two /var/log/messages lines so I wrote:

!-ntpd,dhcpd,named
*.info;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail.none        /var/log/messages
kern.debug                                              /var/log/messages
!*

It seems to work as I want.
Is this OK?

Thierry.

Here's my complete /etc/syslog.conf:
