Ok 2 oddities on FBSD. First, why do some of the logs unders syslogd stamp with the local (CDT) time and some with GMT? Easy enough to -5:00 them, but why they vary... Is this a function of how syslog() is used? BSDi does this as well, but only for a hacked version of smap, yet smapd logs with CDT time. Secondly why do I have: Apr 26 01:00:01 nr sendmail[18248]: gethostbyaddr() failed for 207.227.127.82 ... for every single IP alias'd (this is a web host server) in my maillog? This causes a serious problem with the size of the maillog file, as this server does secondary MX right now, but another web server does this as well. Or is this a sendmail related problem? It does log this in /var/log/waring for a *.warning entry in syslog, so I wouldn't think so. Ping will not on the server that the IPs are aliased to, but this is the same for the BSDi web server, which has the same syslog.conf and does not have this in the maillog. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
