It isn't possible to save the logfiles together with the configuration in the versions 3.x and it shouldn't be added IMHO. Due to the fundamental changes in the backup framework, it will slow down the reboot and it may even not work as you expect, or will have side effects which can annoy others (overwriting the boot messages). But you can add a similar functionality, as you've used in earlier versions, easily yourself - let a cronjob do a "tar cvf /mnt/log.tar /var/log/*" (maybe you have to mount the device before and umount after). But then every log message not saved to your device before a reboot, by accident, by an attacker or whatelse, is lost. A more secure approach is to do remote logging. syslogd is capable of doing that, and shorewall can log to syslog - it does need some playing (I'm not going to write a how-to here and yet :)) - but you may start with: man syslogd and http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_logging.html (note LEAF Bering-uClibc uses ULOG) hth kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
