The man page for syslog.conf says I need to use "!pppd" to log messages from that program, but I can't get it to work- nothing appears in the /var/log/pppd file. Also, how can I set up two machines so that they share each other's messages? I've tried something like this: On Kirk: *.warning;kern.debug;auth.info;mark.info /var/log/messages *.warning;kern.debug;auth.info;mark.info @spock On Spock: *.warning;kern.debug;auth.info;mark.info /var/log/messages *.warning;kern.debug;auth.info;mark.info @kirk The problem is, one machine recieves a message from the other, it logs the message and sends it back, causing the messages to be bounced back and forth forever. Very ugly. Using FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on both machines. ===================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP (2048/9F317269) Fingerprint: 11C89D1CD67287E68C09EC52443F8830 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, IANAL. -- | ===================================================================:)
