Actually, I don't know what happened, but after a reboot and redoing the change to /etc/init.d/klogd and restarting it, the firewall messages are being written in /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog. Must be ghosts in the machine, as they say... Thanks a lot for your help. I don't know if you had any other users on Alpha, but you can consider this as a success report. Things work as well as they did on my i86 machine, which is great since the Alpha cost me about 85$ canadian total! :-) Thanks again, J-S ________________________________________________ Jean-Sébastien Guay [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://whitestar02.webhop.org/
