And if you really, REALLY don't want to ever see ANY e-mail from this box -- no matter what it is -- you could edit the mail alias file (/etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases, not sure which file name FreeBSD uses nowadays), delete any existing line starting with "root:", and add a line saying "root: /dev/null", and then do "newaliases" to create a new hashed version of the alias file. This will cause all e-mail for "root" to be silently thrown away. It would be a lot better, of course, to redirect that "root" mail to some other account on a different box, but . . . . > To redirect your syslog messages to the console instead of a > file, edit the '/etc/syslog' file and point all of the entries > to 'dev/console'.

And just for the benefit of those who might not know enough about Unixoid systems to catch the typos, those path names should be /dev/console (with an initial slash) and /dev/null, respectively. -- Rich Wales / ri...@richw.org / ri...@stanford.edu Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Richwales Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/richwales _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
