They'd only have to pay a meagre amount, and Indian taxpayers would be stuck paying crores for the nuclear clean up and to compensate the victims.

Configuring syslog
by Mayank 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hi, I have been trying to configure arpwatch on my Linux LAN. arpwatch has no configuration parameter which allows me to send logs to a particular file and all the logs are being sent to /var/log/messages. Can someone please explain how to stop a daemon like arpwatch to stop populating /var/log/messages and instead redirect all logs to some other file say /var/log/arpwatch.log. I guess I need to modify /etc/syslog.conf in order to accomplish this. I modified /etc/syslog.conf and it now looks like: ================== # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* -/var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log !arpwatch *.* /var/log/arpwatch.log ================= Now all my logs for arpwatch are getting recorded to /var/log/arpwatch.log along with /var/log/messages. However I'm still unable to stop arpwatch from populating /var/log/messages. Regards, Mayank -- Today is tommorrow I was so worried about yesterday ...
