Hi, Doug.
Actually, there are a very few rarely-used utilities that read it, like lsof
and a couple of others. But true, it isn't needed. However, to use it as you
suggested in part of your (snipped) post, the klogd startup needs to include a
reference to the filename, as in " -k System.map-`uname -r`". Caldera and RH
set this up in /etc/sysconfig/daemons/syslog. Other distros do similar
things, just follow the rc scripts.
Ciao,
David A. Bandel
