I strongly reccomend using syslog-ng for this. normal syslog would just be a nightmare because it doesn't have the filtering capabilities that syslog-ng has. I have been running syslog-ng on freebsd for almost a year and below I post my syslog.conf: http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/syslog-ng.conf note I use an alternate log directory /var/log-ng so that system utilities don't screw the files up(e.g. log rotation). Easier then going through the system and disabling such programs manually. good luck! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
