Quickest way is probably 'pkill syslogd' (or 'kill `cat

Ok, if I do that, then how do I enable it again?
Start it running again with the command line as used in rc.conf,
often this would be "syslogd -a /var/empty/dev/log".
You might want to edit syslog.conf and remove the lines with * or
root listed.
ok
Might be stating the obvious, but if you're logging in at the console,
you have tried using a different screen haven't you? (alt-ctrl-f2 etc).
There's a load of logging normally output to /dev/console which is
shown on the first console screen.
no - I'm ssh'ing into it. The box is 400 KM away.
I also have a
problem in that my "ps" command don't work.
Ah, there's a fair chance that pkill would also be incompatible
then... You might try extracting a binary from the distribution tgz
files from the same or a different OpenBSD version (if it's -stable,
possibly one version newer than the reported version number).
Although I haven't tried it, I suspect since my Userland is out of synch,
I'm not sure it would even work.
Hope this helps...
Yes - thanx
