Thank you very much for your concern. Here is a snapshot of my syslog.conf file (pound sign already exists)
# 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
# The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure
# Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog
# Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron
# Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg *
# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler
# Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log

Peace, I have messages like (on a centos 3.8 box)
NET: 21 messages suppressed. martian source 10.255.255.255 from 10.0.0.138, on dev eth0
on my screen. In the same time it is being logged to a file. Are there any way to stop the logging of these messages on the console and still logged to a file (/var/log/messages)
Add a pound sign to the head of any lines that end in /dev/console in /etc/syslog.conf
eg:
#kern.* /dev/console
If you really want all kernel messages logged to a file, you can change the above to point to /var/log/kern (that is, you don't have to comment it out with a pound sign) and create appropriate entries in the log rotation configuration. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
