What can I do to temporarily stop the console output so I can ussue
a few "root" commands to change our FW settings?
Log in as a regular user, the su to root and edit /etc/syslog.conf and
don't send stuff to the console anymore. A SIGHUP to syslogd should
suffice.
I don't have any reg user in "wheel".
If you don't have a non-root user in the wheel group available, just
disconnect the box for a minute for the change above - can't hurt that
much more, I suppose ... and call your ISP for help ;P
I cannot do that - the box is over 500KM away from me.
But the "pkill syslogd" seems a reasonable thing to do, but how do I
set it back again?
One other problem I have is my "ps" don't work, but that problem is
going to be fixed
in my next scheduled upgrade.
