What I don´t like is unnecessary double logging and hidden log files that cannot be read without special software, like binary ones. How do I disable these binary logs and have everything logged with syslogd? Most of the logging goes there anyway. How do they think users will ever get a working system with no logging and not even an mta installed? -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
