hi,

question : when i created a log file, in the syslog.conf folder ( under
redhat ) , i don't know where i can limit the size of this file, because it
takes too many place on my hard disk drive.
usually, the size of the log files are limited by default after the
installation.
so, maybe you can help me.. thanks ..a lot

Use logrotate, which should be run daily by cron

thanks man,

i didn't know this file before

 
 
 

1. syslog.conf/syslog

I've been trying to get syslog messages from a host to a linux box,
but so far I haven't gotten it to work. I tried it going to a AIX box,
and seems to work fine.

The syntax from the sending box is correct, and as far as I can tell
the syntax on the linux side is correct. I still can't it to send. I
have also rebooted/restarted the syslogd process. I also made sure
that syslogd was not running muliple instances.

Here is a look at my syslog.conf file:

# "mail messages, at debug or higher, go to Log file. File must
exist."
# "all facilities, at debug and higher, go to console"
# "all facilities, at crit or higher, go to all users"
  mail.debug            /usr/spool/mqueue/maillog
*.debug                 /var/spool/mqueue/log
local4.debug            /var/adm/netblazer
#  *.debug              /dev/console
#  *.crit                       *

Any Ideas on why is not working?

Thanks
