n00b questions - verbosity of config????
...class based system, eg,
in the above <nfsdir> the following might exist:
BASE
SERVER
CLIENT
somehost
each with a copy of syslog-ng.conf applicable to that class of host.
Each host would be in one or more classes, where a class was also a
class member - until you hit the root class, eg:
somewebserver [isin] WEBSERVER [isin] SERVER [isin] BASE
somelabpc [isin] LAB1PC [isin] LABPC [isin] CLIENT [isin] BASE
Order matters and the class list for a host deterministically resolves
to an ordered list.
So for the example of somewebserver (the host name), it would pick up
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf...
