zabbix server logging problem

[micholus]

Hello.
I have a zabbix server 1.6.2 on Debian Lenny running just fine, but I have some problems with logs.
In my config file: /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf I have defined a log file:
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix-server/zabbix_server.log
Still, all messages go to /var/log/syslog
Additionally my syslog is now full of messages from zabbix kernel like this:

Mar 16 10:49:27 zabbix syslogd 1.5.0#5: restart.

Can anyone help me with this?

First thought - config change. Did you restart Zabbix server after you made that LogFile= change?

But those are not messages you would normally see in zabbix_server.log. At least none that I have ever seen, even with tracing set to 4.
