You read the check backwards. earlysyslog starts before the network is up, and only runs if it is *not* configured to use the net (if it is tcp or udp, it does an exit 0) It is a conscious decision though: see bug 65003 Also note that "earlysyslog" just starts the normal syslog daemon, so I wouldn't call this a "difference between the run levels" Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
