Can you explain the notion of "facilities" and how daemon and local pertain?  I 
am not sure I understand that different... my thoughts are that all daemons are 
local to the system.  I am a Windows guy.. Linux is not my strong suite.  

Where did you reconfigure NetWorker to send its messages to local1?  What type 
of information is stored in these logs?  I was under the impression that logs 
were kept and maintained on the central NW server.  

Thanks everyone for all the assistance... this is the best resource for 
NetWorker questions and concerns, and I pay EMC over $7K per year for the 
maintenance pack.
