[Pulp-list] Pulp Logging Documentation for rsyslogd Incorrect

[Trey Dockendorf]

I've been using this on EL6

:programname, isequal, "pulp" -/var/log/pulp.log
& ~

I think as long as that comes before the line that sets the
/var/log/messages logging then the "& ~" will discard the messages and keep
them from making it to /var/log/messages.
