But dmesg will only output the last 16K (or so [1]) of kernel output. And it can be cleared with e.g. "dmesg -c". Unless there are a lot of kernel messages (e.g. iptables logging rejected packets), this is fine. By default, the Debian installation of (r)syslog will copy this to /var/log/dmesg. This file is also subject to log rotation. [1] I may have gotten the size wrong. Although limited, it only serves as a buffer in case syslog is slow picking it up. Configurable with the "log-buf-len" kernel parameter if you want to nitpick. But I'm sure you don't :-) Regards -- Karl E.
