I have thought that putting in /etc/syslog.conf: # *.kern /dev/console kern.* /var/log/kernel kern.* /dev/tty8 would free me from this, but it did not. How can I force kernel message to appear only in /var/log/kernel log and on tty8 only? Best Regards I hope that somebody will be able to help me. When I'm getting a lot of dropped packages it is not possible even to log. Slawomir Orlowski
