I have previously used FC6/FC7 and I think it is different. Cannot remember. But now all my FC10 are like what u said above: /etc>ps auxwf|grep syslog root 2577 0.0 0.0 114012 1860 ? Sl 07:20 0:00 rsyslogd -c 3 /etc>cat /etc/rsyslog.conf # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages So if u remarked the above out, nothing will go into /var/log/messages, whcih is what I normally do to improve performance (after I had instrumented a lot of the kernel codes) - as the I/O does slowed the system a lot. -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
