The news logging in particular is rather annoying. I have successfully managed to stop syslog loggin to /var/log/messages but I can't seem to stop making it log to root. Here's an excerpt from my syslog.conf ----- cut here ---- *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit;local0.none;news.none /dev/console ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit;local0.none;news.none /var/log/messages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ftp.* /var/log/ftp.log ## ## pop3 ## local0.* /var/log/popper.log ----- cut here ---- local0.none and news.none seem to work for /var/log/messages but fail for /dev/console ! Ideas anybody. Please tell me I'm blind and can't see the obvious typo :-) Greetings Christian -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TopLink GbR, Internet Services info@toplink.de Christian Kratzer http://www.toplink.de/ Phone: +49 7452 87174 Fax: +49 7452 87175 FreeBSD spoken here! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
