Thanks to: Sal Serafino serafino@cshl.edu Jonathan Hays jhays@jtan.com Fletcher, Joe joe.fletcher@Metapack.com Justin Stringfellow Justin.Stringfellow@Sun.COM This would appear to be pilot error. Restoring a default Solaris 8- distributed syslog.conf file resolved the problem. Even backing out the latest syslog patch 110945-04 didn't resolve it. FWIW, I'd swear the now-suspect syslog.conf file *was* working for several months before this episode. When time permits, I'll go into old backup tapes and find it from before this started and see whether it was recently changed. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@tkevans.com | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/tkevans.html | (443) 394-3864 _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Jan 9 17:45:12 2002
