Hi Gang!
I've noticed something strange being logged to /var/log/messages
and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it...

As you can see, it's happening every 20 minutes and when you run
your machine 24/7 like a lot of us do it can make for some pretty large
log files in next to no time.
Here's a copy of the relevant parts of my /etc/syslog.conf file...
<------syslog.conf------>
*.=info;*.=notice;\
kern,mail,news.none /var/log/messages
*.=debug /var/log/debug
*.err /var/log/syslog
*.=crit;kern.none /var/log/critical
kern.* /var/log/kernel
mail,news.* /var/log/mail-news
*.=emerg *
*.=emerg /var/log/critical
*.alert root,jackall
<------End------>
Thanks for any help on this. Oh, and before I forget, I'm running
Slackware 3.6, kernel 2.2.9 & 2.3.5 (it happens in both 2.2 & 2.3
kernels).
