Better yet, turn it off in /etc/syslog.conf like so: *.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\ auth,authpriv.none;\ cron,daemon.none;\ mail,mark.none,news.none -/var/log/messages ^^^^^^^^^ Add `mark.none' to line defs for files in which you don't want the mark. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
