I believe the option has changed since I last did this. In /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog, near the top of the settings, isn option SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=“-c “. By adding the syslog switch “-m 0” it should go away (e.g. SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=“-c -m 0“). See man syslog. btw, I do not have a syslog.conf directive called "ModLoad immure” - running Slackware 14.2 Hope that helps Bob ------------- In Space, mexican food is considered a form of propulsion _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
