Still so much to learn. One more question though: there is always a date printed before login[PID] so that the entire line look like this: Jan 1 00:01:36 login[515]: root login on 'tty2' I tested opensyslog() with exactly the same parameters as in loginutils/login.c on my Slackware box and date is not printed. There is applet_name used as an ident argument in Busybox but AFAIK it only contains applet name such as login without a date. So how is the date printed? -- wemp...@gmail.com ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
How is syslog output printed on TTY?
When I log in as root in TTY in NOOBS the following text is printed: login[510]: root login on 'tty2' NOOBS stands for New Out Of Box Software. It's 'An easy Operating System install manager for the Raspberry Pi'. Anyway, I know that it can be achieved by modifying syslog.conf but there is no syslog.conf and syslogd is not running in NOOBS. I read Busybox source code and the only place when this text is printed is loginutils/login.c but they use syslog(): if (pw-pw_uid == 0) syslog(LOG_INFO, root login%s, fromhost); I wonder then where does this text come from? It may be specific to NOOBS but I am not sure. -- wemp...@gmail.com ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
