Description Bastien Nocera 2003-09-09 10:15:20 UTC 
Add an entry at the top of /etc/syslogd.conf:
kern.*   /var/log/kernel

Restart syslog:
service syslog restart

logger -p kern.warn "Warning test"

The "Warning test" doesn't get logged in /var/log/kernel, although the file is
created. A "*.*" entry will log this message to /var/log/kernel fine.
Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2004-08-04 23:42:07 UTC 
Messages generated by 
  logger -p kern.warn "Warning test"
are handled by syslogd as user messages and get logged to
/var/log/messages.

Genuine kernel messages, from the kernel, are handled by klogd
and 'kern.warn' messages would be redirected to /var/log/kernel
by 'kern.warn /var/log/kernel' in syslog.conf.
