Hi,
 I had noticed that many openswan log messages are written to
/var/log/secure file.
For example,
----------
Sep 17 15:55:46 localhost pluto[12010]: Starting Pluto (Openswan
Version 2.6.28; Vendor ID OEQ{O\177nez{CQ) pid:12010
Sep 17 15:55:46 localhost pluto[12010]: SAref support [disabled]:
Protocol not available
Sep 17 15:55:46 localhost pluto[12010]: SAbind support [disabled]:
Protocol not available
Sep 17 15:55:46 localhost pluto[12010]: Setting NAT-Traversal
port-4500 floating to off
Sep 17 15:55:46 localhost pluto[12010]:    port floating activation
criteria nat_t=0/port_float=1
Sep 17 15:55:46 localhost pluto[12010]:    NAT-Traversal support  [disabled]
-----

The thing is that there other daemons writing to /var/log/secure file.
I want that pluto (openswan) messages will be written to a log file to
which no other daemons will write.
So my question is:
can I somehow configure openswan (with ipsec.conf) so that these
messages will be written to
a different file ?

rgs,
Kevin
