This is defined in /etc/syslog.conf. On Fedora, all messages go to /var/log/messages. On LFS, the default setup is to send all messages to /var/log/sys.log. dmesg comes from util-linux. Note that kernel messages are also logged to /var/log/kern.log by klogd on a default LFS installation. So, you should be able to get just as many messages as anyone else since the applications decide what's sent to syslog, and everything is logged by default. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
