Errr... it may be rather a pathological case, but you might want to check the content of /etc/syslog.conf on the local machine before getting too carried away with that approach. For example, on my "firewall" box at home (where I really do not want to log anything to local disk files, though I do have a serial console on it): janus(6.4-P)[1] grep -v '^#' /etc/syslog.conf *.* @bunrab.catwhisker.org janus(6.4-P)[2] And then consider the fate of bunrab -- with stuff getting logged to /var/log/messages from various machines.... > ... > I'll discuss this with others to decide if we should take such an > approach. I'm not trying to be obstructionist, here. If the above case is really "too pathological to consider" -- or if it's a case of me bringing that fate upon myself, I suppose -- that's actually something I can live with. It would be nice to be forwarned about it, though. :-} Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depriving a girl or boy of an opportunity for education is evil.
