Also the sysctl.conf kernel.printk values can be changed to set klogd's verbosity. On my firewall I use: in /etc/sysctl.conf: kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 so only warnings or worse are logged to the console in /etc/syslog.conf: kern.warning /dev/console kern.notice /dev/tty9 *.debug /dev/tty10 (not sure if the first line is redundant, check for yourself) Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
