Oh, stupid me. I should have noticed openlog() with LOG_CONS a couple of lines above. Still so much to learn. One more question though: there is always a date printed before login[<PID>] so that the entire line look like this: Jan 1 00:01:36 login[515]: root login on 'tty2' I tested opensyslog() with exactly the same parameters as in loginutils/login.c on my Slackware box and date is not printed. There is applet_name used as an ident argument in Busybox but AFAIK it only contains applet name such as "login" without a date. So how is the date printed? -- <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
