This will happen if you have a public static ip address on your freebsd box, connected to an adsl router but the adsl router's lan interface is on a different network. This situation primarily occurs when you turn an adsl router into an adsl modem, e.g. you enable ppp half-bridge mode. I pipe those, and other messages to a virtual terminal, like this: syslog.conf -- *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice /dev/ttyv3 BR, -- mike _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
