I have always taken comfort in the fact that every message was going to be on the syslog. This always gave an immutable "paper trail" (remember when we tried to print the "hardcopy log" on paper.
Maybe I am an anachronism but I think the syslog should always have every message all the time. If you don't want to see every message then don't look at the syslog. I would absolutely vote NO to changing the way the syslog messages are recorded and would NOT ever like to see messages "disappear". There HAS to be a place where the entire story is still available IMNSHO. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
