In syslogd.c, the default priority for messages from the kernel is "critical": #define DEFSPRI (LOG_KERN|LOG_CRIT) It seems that in practice, this is not really appropriate. Only rarely are kernel-generated messages truly critical. Would anyone object if this were changed to be NOTICE instead? [ It seems like the real solution is to change all the kernel code that uses "printf(...)" to use "log(LOG_XXX, ...)" instead, where XXX is the appropriate priority for that particular message (anyone interested in a mini-project?? :-) IMHO, printf() in the kernel should be deprecated in favor of log(). ] -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
