(RADIATOR) <Log FILE> not appearing to be working...

ok, thats all good, and i have a much cleaner config file now...
but one more question - i can't get packet logs unless I have Global
logging at trace 4. whats the recommended way to handle the situation where
I only want level 3 logs globally, but want packet dumps for a particular 
few AuthBy clauses.
would having 2 global loggers, one at level 3 and one at level 4 running,
with the level 4 logger pointing to some form of null, and the using
something along the lines of what is suggested below to get the packets
work?
or am i misunderstanding again the way in which this works (ie the
availability of the packet logs at any level below global)?

thanks

jeremy
