Help with syslog.conf syntax and structure?

[Adam Funk <a24061@yahoo.com>]

I have what I think is a fairly standard syslog.conf (in other words,
I haven't tinkered with it yet), the non-commented parts of which I've
pasted below.

I've been running leafnode, which generates a lot of news.info syslog
entries -- making up over 95% of /var/log/syslog -- so I want to stop
logging news.info at all, but without interfering with anything else.

I've read various man pages but I can't figure out how to subtract
that from /var/log/syslog.

What do I need to put where in order to achieve this?

Thanks,
Adam
