I've configured Knot 1.2.0-rc3 to log to a file with this: log { file "/var/log/knot/knot.log" { any debug, info, notice, warning, error; } } However, some log messages are appearing in /var/log/messages via syslog, for example: Mar 9 11:51:37 ams3 knot[30177]: [error] Incoming AXFR transfer of '0.0.0.0.a.2.ip6.arpa.' with '193.0.0.198@53' key 'ripencc-20110222.': Zone transfer refused by the server. Looks like some parts of Knot are not honouring the file log option. Regards, Anand
