If the above is all you're doing with syslogd, you're missing out on a lot. ;-) Second suggestion: Play with the auth and authpriv facilities. Change the above to include auth.* and authpriv.*, and see if you get what you need. (Note: You might want to send authpriv.* to a separate logfile, readable only by root.) Last suggestion: Install the tcp_wrappers port. tcpd is much more conscientious about logging to syslogd than many "raw" daemons. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
