Allowing it to be changed on a running system where that change is likely to go unnoticed leaving you unaware that your network is being snooped via a compromised system. While I don't like the idea of hiding these messages at all and think dealing with the issue through syslog.conf more appropriate, at least don't let the setting be changed on a running system! -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
