Yep, I agree.  Turning on ntalkd (/etc/inetd.conf) is one of the first
things I do on a new box.  I still use talk daily to keep in touch
with friends.  Often, we will use talk over an ssh connection but
this requires having an account on the box.  It'd be nice if there
were an encrypted version of ntalkd.

The thing I like about the unix talk is that it doesn't require any
3rd party servers like IRC, ICQ or whatever.  Its strictly box to
box.  I've even went so far as to hack talkd/announce.c to play a
wav file when a talk request is received.

The port net/ytalk is similar and allows more than 2 parties to
talk.  It also needs the ntalkd turned on.

man talk

Pity it's disabled by default in many today's unices, it was a great
time using it to talk with various people on the net (and, sometimes
exploiting bugs in talkd ;).

Adding that seems to have helped. Not sure yet if the messages stopped
totally, but they do seem to have decreased at least.

Try adding local0.none to the line for /var/log/messages in
/etc/syslog.conf - remember to send a HUP signal to syslogd after the
changes are made :P

ie:

*.notice;kern.debug;mail.crit;news.err;local0.none  /var/log/messages

...

!ipmon
*.* /var/log/ipmon.log

which works to just log ipmon messages to /var/log/ipmon.log and not
/var/log/messages.

Syslogd sending messages to two files

2004-01-09 Thread Francisco Reyes
Recently I setup a Soekris machine with M0n0wall and redirected the log
files to a freebsd server. In /etc/syslogd I have:
!ipmon
*.* /var/log/mono.log

Which works, however I also get the messages in /var/log/messages
Is there a way to stop those messages from going to both places?
I only want them going to /var/log/mono.log

Other than that minor issue soekris+m0n0wall has been a killer combo (the
client wanted something small).
