/dev/console and syslog
Hi, I'm having an issue where if I have syslog output something to /dev/console, it comes back to syslog again as a kernel: message. I've verified that this is definitely something with /dev/console, since even if I do : valhalla# echo STRAIGHT TO CONSOLE /dev/console I can : valhalla# grep STRAIGHT TO CONSOLE /var/log/spool Oct 21 16:12:07 valhalla kernel: STRAIGHT TO CONSOLE Is there a way from syslog to write to the console but NOT have it come back to syslog as a kernel: ?

redirect /dev/console to a file
I'd like to redirect /dev/console to some file that can be read by the xrootconsole port. Is this ambition feasible? I like the functionality of xconsole; but it's not very pretty. == Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride.

Don't have my PC right in front of me right now, but doing that's trivial. Want to make sure you have permissions for the file though because (if memory served me correctly) syslog's security settings are fairly restrictive by default (mode: 600 owned by root, or something similar). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/dev/cuaa gone in 6.0?? /dev/console doesn't work...
Hi, I'm trying to secure our cisco router by hooking its console to a freebsd 6.0 box. I was reading this document: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/10/11/FreeBSD_Basics.html It seems like /dev/cuaaN has been replaced by /dev/console. On my 6.0 box, I can't seem to find /dev/cuaaN... I tried using /dev/console instead and I got the same response Connected but it hangs... I can't do anything. The command I used was cu -l /dev/console -s 9600. On an older box (4.11) I used cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600 and it worked. I got the login prompt of our router. If ever I would make everything work... does this mean that only one user can connect to our router or does freebsd have some sort of pseudo consoles???

No output from Kernel Booting Up or /dev/console
The is on a Dell Inspiron 1100 notebook (celeron 2.3Ghz) running FreeBSD 5.3R. When I boot my laptop I see the Beastie menu, and after making a selection, I get no output from boot1 or the kernel.

The handbook covers this topic in section 20.6. Also some quick info that might help you out: There are a few places that this can be configured: boot.conf, /boot/loader.conf, /boot/loader.conf.local or /boot/loader.rc. If /boot.conf refer to the Handbook Section 20.6 as well as boot(8)'s man page. In either /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf.local for the following line: console=comconsole In /boot/loader.rc check for: set console=comconsole To set your console to display on your monitor using /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf.local set (or replace) the following: console=vidconsole In /boot/loader.rc console=vidconsole Good Luck, -Ash ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
