Same here. I do wish it would fill my log full of dups tho. Sometimes my DVD thinks there is media in there and it is trying to read it when it is empty. Since it does this every two seconds, it can create a HUGE messages file in a hurry. logrotate helps with this but still, no need doing the same line hundreds of thousands of times. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Now some guru tell me that it can be told not to do that. :/
