It's probably not a single switch, but per-app/service. It will not add any load to your system. Which particular reverse lookups are causing you trouble? | Adding a "-" in the syslog.conf?

Most Bifflike programs poll your mailbox file (/var/spool/mail/your-login) regularly, and if the modify time is more recent than the access time infers that you have new email. In short, you won't miss this at all. I run with noatime active on most things. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared.
