 |
|
Hello all,
I have a little problem. If I Ctrl+Alt+F1-6, I get firewall messages (stuff that should go into /var/log/messages) coming out on the vt. It doesn't happen in Konsole, though. Any ideas? I haven't changed my firewall's logging setup, but I may have incorrectly etc-update'd something.
Thanks! |

| Code: |
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
# By default messages are logged to tty12...
destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
# ...if you intend to use /dev/console for programs like xconsole
# you can comment out the destination line above that references /dev/tty12
# and uncomment the line below.
#destination console_all { file("/dev/console"); };
log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };

that is a part of my /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file and it loggs everything into file
compare it and check weahter you have looging into file enabled

Psycepa,
Thanks for your reply. My syslog-ng.conf looks the same, including
| Code: | | destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); }; |
so, I'm not sure what's wrong.
I'm thinking it's something to do with my firewall script. That would make sense, because I sometimes make changes to it (I've never bothered with syslog-ng.conf). I have to do some looking...
Thanks again |

| I'm seeing the same thing, I noticed it after re-compiling syslog-ng (same version, recompiled for 4.1.1 switch). In my case, it is not just firewall messages, but all kernel logging messages. My syslog-ng config file should put those messages in /var/log/kernel (and it does). It should also log them to /dev/tty12 (and it does). It should not log to all VTs, but it does. |

Raffi,
Thanks. I started examining/making changes to my firewall script, but I had no luck in stopping the messages. I'll check into your suggestion.
Thanks again. |

| Looks like the latest stable baselayout fixes the problem. I am no longer getting the console clutter after my last reboot. |
