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.
It has these console-related destination lines:
# The root's console. # destination console { usertty("root"); };
# Virtual console. # destination console_all { file("/dev/tty8"); };
# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the nsole' utility. To use it, # you must invoke nsole' with the -file' option: # # $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...] # destination xconsole { pipe("/dev/xconsole"); };
Maybe you have some console lines you don't see?
vi's /con gave me nothing.
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. -- Garrett Kuchta [gkuchta[at]astro.umn.edu] Assistant System Manager Dept. of Astronomy University of Minnesota, Twin Cities http://www.astro.umn.edu/~gkuchta
