ZM inserting logging info in most log files on machine...

Hello,

I have Zoneminder installed on my local server and all is running well except a major annoyance with what seems to be the logging capability. Every log file I open, from Apache web server, my groupware (Horde), or other non-related applications, I see zoneminder's logging info such as:

See http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... on#Logging
You'll need to adjust your syslog parameters so that the local1.* facility is only written to a single file (or /dev/null if you so desire).
