/dev/xconsole is in the default /etc/syslog.conf file as follows: auth.*;daemon.*;mail.*;news.crit;news.err;news.notice;*.=debug;*.=info;\ *.=notice;*.=warn;cron.none |/dev/xconsole (I put the line break in for this message) If /dev/xconsole isn't present when syslogd is started, it produces an error message. I think syslogd should be responsible for making this pipe if this line is to stay in its default configuration file. Steve Early [EMAIL PROTECTED]
