Yep. Nice thing about virtual terminals on fbsd, you can touch the ScrLk key and then PageUp or arrow keys to scroll back and watch the messages. Anything that I want to be kept in a logfile goes to a logfile. I might send auth.notice to a central loghost, once I get one setup. Of course, if I wanted to be really sure I'd send it to a line printer :-) -- mike _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
