Message-ID: <20020318180610.A44264@Deadcell.ant> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all, I wonder why after a day or two uptime my /var/run/dmesg.boot gets completely overwritten by various messages, mostly generated by log_in_vain (eg Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:1654) but also a few others. I tought dmesg.boot is there to preserve the messages output at boot time? What could cause it to get clobbered with anything else than boot information? Some syslog settings? Or is there anything else I have to consider about that particular problem?
