Re: /var/log/messages logs appear in the output of sysctl -a
You are looking at the kernel message buffer with 'sysctl -a'. (kern.msgbuf). Nothing wrong with that. //Remko -- /\ Best regards,| re...@freebsd.org \ / Remko Lodder | re...@efnet Xhttp://www.evilcoder.org/| / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign| Against HTML Mail and News ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
