Note that the above list is in decreasing order of message importance. It follows that those messages with levels at the top of the list are more important than those with levels at the bottom. Hence, giving a message a level toward the bottom of the list is likely to suppress its being written to some (sometimes all) of the logs. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
