I appreciate the meaning of 'all', but this never used to happen before, eg: Aug 11 15:31:56 backup /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:1378 Aug 11 15:31:57 backup /kernel: Aug 11 15:31:56 backup /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:1378 The exact same message is logged twice. This only started happening since console logging was added (I am comming from a -stable point of view). And now, with a recent change to /etc/security, these double messages are being reported in the daily periodic run. I can live with a local change. > > # uncomment this to enable logging of all log messages to /var/log/all.log > > -#*.* /var/log/all.log > > +#*.*;console.none /var/log/all.log > -- > | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands email: wilko@FreeBSD.org > |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte -- :{ andyf@speednet.com.au Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications http://www.speednet.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
