I use logcheck to filter out routine log messages, and mail me the rest. Still, I'd sure like to have a revised syslog.conf. The only change I've made to mine is to log everything to tty10. This is really handy when debugging. There's a package that pipe into less on a console, so you can search and go back, but I just use *.* /dev/tty10 -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
