Date: 5 Mar 1996 08:47:01 GMT Organization: inJapan Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4hgv25$5s5@gol2.gol.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 202.243.53.5 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Macintosh; I; 68K) X-URL: news://news.gol.com/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Over the last few days my FreeBSD machine has been sending system messages all the time to my X window console. Everytime somebody does something, like check mail, messages like: .....service request from... .....Ending request from.... ...disconnect broken pipe... ....unable to get canonical name of client... and so on appear. Mail and news and everything seems to be working ok. My questions! (1) What are these messages and why am I suddenly seeing them for the first time? I have been running this FreeBSD box for about 8 months now. (2) Are any of those "error sounding" messages cause for concern? doug@don't want my pipes broken
