If he's tailing syslog in those Since it doesn't affect anybody according to you, you're implicitly admitting there's really no use turning them on either. Your argument self-destructs! Regarding syslog, you can perfectly tail a log which logs only urgent messages, i.e. you *won't* have any message in it in normal circonstances. Then you *don't* want it closed because of a temporary network outage. This discussion has been way beyond rational arguments from the beginning (the only real work on the matter, RFC 1122, has been discarded from the start as outdated), and PHK has committed the change more than one week ago, so I don't see the point in going on. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@enst.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
