Just check alt+f3 every so often? Yep. Nice thing about virtual terminals on fbsd, you can touch the ScrLk key and then PageUp or arrow keys to scroll back and watch the messages. Anything that I want to be kept in a logfile goes to a logfile. I might send auth.notice to a central loghost, once I get one setup. Of course, if I wanted to be really sure I'd send it to a line printer :-) -- mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/var/log/messages question
Greetings, I have a 4.4-stable box configured as my firewall running IPFilter and doing nat and routing to the internet. I keep getting: Mar 16 13:10:09 darryl /kernel: arplookup 10.2.2.2 failed: host is not on local network in my /var/log/messages file. It is coming from my DSL facing interface. I used ethereal to capture packets and determine the MAC address. Turns out to be a vendor testpoint on some OSI gear the ISP is using. They cannot correct this problem. ARP comes way before IPFilter, therefore I do not believe it can be filtered. Is there anything I can do to prevent these warnings/errors from clogging up my log files ? thanks, Darryl ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, I can't tell you what level of message that is; and therefore can't tell you exactly what to change in that file. I imagine that its kern.debug ... but I'm not sure. Not to mention, losing kern.debug might take away something you'll need next time you have a problem. I guess you could experiment, if you're not too afraid of losing other log messages; or you could script something to strip that line and run it via cron Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will happen if you have a public static ip address on your freebsd box, connected to an adsl router but the adsl router's lan interface is on a different network. This situation primarily occurs when you turn an adsl router into an adsl modem, e.g. you enable ppp half-bridge mode. I pipe those, and other messages to a virtual terminal, like this: syslog.conf -- *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice/dev/ttyv3 BR, -- mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
