<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Frank,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Someone must have used a so-called "smart"
editor to edit this file, since it seems to have used fancy quotes on the
console line.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>#destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12");
};<br>
destination console_all { file(“/dev/console”); };<br>
#destination loghost { udp("loghost" port(999)); };<br>
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Notice how they are different from those
on the line above? Word processors often replace quotes with matching
pairs like that automatically; only plain text editors should be used to
edit config files like this.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Check for this kind of thing with a
hex dumper or 'cat -vet':</font>
