CIFS writing in 2 differents log file

Hi Community,

When activating logs within CIFS, this is writing the exact same information in

/var/log/messages
and in 
/var/log/cifs/cifs.log.

This is very annoying when activating "DEBUG", flooding both files.

Any idea on how to "disable" this redundancy ?

And I need DEBUG for a "long" term period because CIFS is crashing one or two times a week, and we need to find out, or at least having something to provide to support.

Thanks,

Regards,

Pascal

Perfect, thank you
Editing /etc/rsyslog.d/cifs-log.conf as following :
Before:
```
if ($programname == 'CIFS' or $programname == 'cifsd')
then {
/var/log/cifs/cifs.log
}
```
After:
```
if ($programname == 'CIFS' or $programname == 'cifsd')
then {
/var/log/cifs/cifs.log
stop
}
```
Solved my issue,
thanks
