I'm running Fedora (F19) and my */var/log/messages* is filled with info coming from avahi-daemon: stuff like:

 Jan 21 14:13:42 localhost avahi-daemon[554]: Invalid response packet from host 10.10.22.3.

from my local network

since I read somewhere that it's harmless, but I dont have time at the moment to debug it, I thought about disabling the reporting by modifying */etc/rsyslog.conf*.

I modified this line:

 *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages

to this line

 *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;avahi-daemon.none /var/log/messages

but with the new line rsyslog doesnt work anymore!

 **systemctl restart rsyslog** reports it as running, but nothing gets ever written in *messages* - doing stuff that normally gets reported, as stopping&restarting some process (e.g. **systemctl restart cups**), nothing gets reported.

If I restore the *rsyslog.conf* line as before, the restart of cups gets reported.


There is some problem in the way I modified that line?
