syslog newbie on Red Hat 5.1

by Stephen Wait » Wed, 25 Nov 1998 04:00:00

I'm running Red Hat 5.1 on an Intel platform.

I keep getting a message displayed to my screen.

linux

This worries me. I did a df and I see that the partition where my root
filesystem is mounted is at 98% capacity. Could system messages harm my
system?

I've looked at /var/log/messges and I see alot of

lp1 out of paper
message repeated 6 times
...
...

How do I tell lpr to shut up?

What other steps should I take to get syslog under control?

Thanks for your time,
Steve

1. Red Hat 5.0 vs. Red Hat 5.1

Hello everybody - what a beautiful day it is! Let's not get to funked
up, and get yourself a nice little pink flower to put in a orange vase.
Then grab yourself a slice and sit down and enjoy yourself. It can be
done in lot's of different ways -- just go ahead and do it under the
green sun.

Well... Nevermind.

I'm planning to buy Red Hat 5.1 official to replace my Red Hat 5.0 with.
But before I do that I wonder if there are any disadvantages, hazards or
such with RH 5.1, compared to RH 5.0. Is the installation as safe (don't
forget LILO), and things such as X, sound-support, printers and ppp -
are they still well supported, and not buggy or so?

Thanks in advance,

/Henrik

By the way, don't let the opening of this letter make you think that I'm
not serious enough.
