This doesn't seem as though it should be there.  I removed the NetWorker client 
from startup, removed the files under /nsr/logs, and rebooted to find the 
information dumped there once again.  Any ideas as to how this could have 
happened or even where to start troubleshooting?? [Shocked]


This is not a Linux specific issue, it is common to all Unix flavours. NetWorker reconfigures syslog.conf so that NetWorker messages will be written to /nsr/logs/messages, but as you say this will also capture messages from other daemons. It also has the effect of writing NetWorker messages to other places.

I prefer to reconfigure syslog.conf when I install NetWorker. I use local1.notice instead of daemon.notice. I then reconfigure the "Log default" notification within NetWorker to send its messages to local1.notice. I am making the assumption that no other programs in the system are using local1.notice.

This is what I have in syslog.conf after modification:

# Start of lines added by NetWorker etc.
local1.notice           /nsr/log/messages
# End of lines etc...
