Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way for Slackers.
These are the active lines in /etc/syslog.conf:
*.=info;*.=notice /usr/adm/messages
*.=debug /usr/adm/debug
*.err /usr/adm/syslog
I haven't tried this, but I gather from the man page that adding
";user.none" would exclude messages from the user facility.
However, before I go about tweaking this, I'd appreciate seeing some
other examples so that I can prepare an appropriate Slackware-specific
GNOME FAQ on this.
Thanks!

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.
