I saw this nifty little command at Linux.com and I thought I would give it a try. It reroutes log information to tty12. The command was, echo '*.* /dev/tty12' >/etc/syslog.conf
The file now looks like this, ~$ cat /etc/syslog.conf *.* /dev/tty12 I didn't realize that it would become "permanent" and wipe out my xconsole info. At any rate I was wondering if someone could send me their default Slink /etc/syslog.conf file? I read through the various man pages but there didn't seem to be a default that I could see. I looked in dselect for a syslog package but couldn't find one. I was thinking I could delete and reinstall on my system to get it back to the way it was. If that is a good option which package is this in? I see from the archives there are many setups which is interesting and I'd like to play with it later but right now I just want things back the way they were. Also is there a way to start the syslog running after changes without rebooting? Thanks, kent
