Is this correct and what file > do I review to see what the log messages were ? Depends what `facility' the messages were logged with. Cisco routers (for one) allow you to change what facility is used. /etc/syslog.conf determines which facilities get logged to which file. So there is no answer to your question apart from `go read the configuration' :) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
