I can't say that I am totally familiar with the rsyslog or its filters, so I am relying upon the original author of the .conf file. I read his comment "# exclude all apcupsd info by default" above the filter as defining its intent, and knowing that apcupsd is using local0 only I interpreted "local0.none" as indicating that nothing from local0 would go to /var/log/syslog. If this is not what the filter is doing then it needs to be corrected to do so. The other filters on the system are those in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf as installed on my distro. I am unsure if that was part of your package or if ubuntu created it. Let me know if you would need to see it. Dave
