Or the solution is specifying a pid file on a memory disk? I can't think of any issues with /var/run being /dev/md*, but there might some. In any case, syslogd_flags="-s -P /tmp/syslogd.pid" should work as well. The issue I see with that is that /etc/rc.d/syslogd doesn't expose it's pidfile for outside configuration. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
