If you use -s twice it will disable listening on network sockets completely.

The -ss option of syslogd will disable all network sockets, so setting this in rc.conf will help: syslogd_flags=-ss Don't forget to restart syslogd of course. greetings philipp ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If specified twice, no network socket will be opened at all, which also disables logging to remote machines. So 'syslogd_flags=-ss' can be added to /etc/rc.conf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
