I did wondering what that is since it was referenced in Cisco's manual, but I didn't find such in man syslogd on 3.5S or 4.3S. I eventually found it's availble on several version of Unix (and LInux). Anyway, on both 3.5S and 4.3S, running syslogd -r just gives "illegal option". I think on FreeBSD version of syslogd, "-r" is replaced by "-a"? ------------- clip here with virtual scissors -------------- ************************************************************ Keyboard stuck error.
