My syslog-ng conf file started life as the one that comes with the debian syslog-ng package.
mine, comes with FreeBSD 4.5 port of syslog-ng, emulates the system's syslog.conf.
I have this:
destination console { file("/var/log/messages" ); }; destination root { usertty("root"); }; destination allusers { usertty("*"); }; destination pop3d { file("/var/log/imail-pop.log"); };
Just a shot in the dark, but try removing the root and allusers destinations.
More important are any log statements that actually use the root or allusers destinations. Are there any? I was thinking of installing FreeBSD tonight anyways (unrelated project) - if I do I'll mess with the syslog-ng port and see what I find. -- Nate So unleash your nmap-from-hell and beware, you may tickle an obscure bug in an ancient box hand-built by Seymour Cray himself, the only one of its kind ever made, whose sole user pays the salaries of everyone you ever met in the entire time you worked at the company, with money he makes with an investment strategy hand-coded in assembler for this special machine, by an analytic wizard who has since died.
