As far as I know, this is "normal" behavior. There was apparently some sort of BadThing (TM) that occurred if syslogd did not pause on startup. I suppose if you reboot a lot it gets annoying ...
At any rate I just hunted through the source code ... I found a flag KLOGD_START_DELAY in the Makefile, but it was commented out! And that string does not seem to appear in any of the *.[ch] files ... so I do not know the reason for this delay. -- Nathan Norman : Hostmaster CFNI : [EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key and other stuff Key fingerprint = CE 03 10 AF 32 81 18 58 9D 32 C2 AB 93 6D C4 72 -- On Fri, 23 May 1997, A.D.Y.
