Make sure you have something like the following in your /etc/syslog.conf and rem ember that it only logs errors or whatever it's set to log in syslog.conf. Try opening a vt (alt-fn#) and logging in as root. That should pop up in xconsole. /etc/syslog.conf daemon.*;mail.*;news.crit;news.err;news.notice;*.=debug;*.=info;*.=notice;*.=war n;cron.none |/dev/xconsole ---------------------------------- Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> E-Mail: Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 02-Apr-97 Time: 01:22:19 ----------------------------------
