Hello Eric and KP and all others, I have found that the increase of /var/log/wtmp takes place shortly before 'daemon.log' gets a pair of entries
Init Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min and a similar message for "2". The correlation is very close but I cannot measure the time displacement. By the way, I run Bering almost as the original 1680k-image, only adding the necessary drivers and having removed every ppp-related material, which I do not need. I have prepared a text file with output from commands ll, ps, last, and apkg, as well as a compressed wtmp, should anyone be interested. At this very moment wmtp is 532kB in size and the command 'last' says only reboot system boot 2.4.33 "the time 2.5h ago" root ttyp0 192.168.3.103 "15 min later". Unfortunately, I forgot to check this "respawning" when I changed the two machines earlier this evening. I meant the other one did stop its size increase of wtmp and therefore I tried to change machines. Since the only difference was in the http-proxy sitting at 8080 in the now removed machine, I had hoped such a change from 80 would have effect on the present one also, but nothing did change. I fear myself to be lost of explanations for the moment. Regards Mats E A ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
