I did test it. Contrary to -27 this time I directly tested it on my log host which makes heavy use of syslog due to a lot of pop3, news and smtp activities. (and not on the compile host). However currently -29 stops syslog'ing at all. I'm about to cry and quit this stuff. Would you like to test a pre-release of -30? Again, on my server it runs as expected. This release contains a patch against the former version. ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/people/joey/debian/sysklogd_1.3-29.1_i386.deb Regards, Joey -- Let's call it an accidental feature. --Larry Wall
