Date: 30 Jan 1996 04:45:35 GMT Organization: Loginet Incorporated Lines: 27 Message-ID: <4ek7pf$3r4@tofu.alt.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.7 I have added a line for my livingston router and USR total control system. They both use the following auth.info /var/log/authlog Everything gets written to this file, but if you are logged in as root it also get written to the screen. I originally put in: auth.info root,mander But took this out after things starting to work. Here is my complete file. *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages auth.info /var/log/authlog mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/cron/log *.err root *.notice;auth.debug root *.alert root *.emerg * Thanks, Matthew mander@loginet.com
