I'm cleaning up my act, security-wise, here. Once upon a time, I logged in to the console as root and left the session logged in as a 'console log'. This is a secure office, so that was reasonably safe... but bad form, of course. I then then cleaned up my act and changed syslog.conf so that the items of interest get logged directly to the console and all is well. Or almost. Oddly, I can no longer get info reports from ntpdate (run with cron every 2 hours), though I used to. My syslog.conf is now: ---- /etc/syslog.conf *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/cron/log *.err root *.notice;auth.debug root *.alert root *.emerg * *.notice;*.alert;auth.debug;*.alert /dev/console ---- so I -assumed- that the console should get all the log messages that root used to (except for .err messages)... but the time adjustments don't show. I also tried adding: !ntpdate.* /dev/console Which seemed to correspond to the program usage in syslog.conf, but it made no difference. What did I do wrong? Puzzled... -Dave
