Just 2 questions: If I boot to a bootfloppy ( created from boot.flp in floppies) there is the option to start an emergency holographic shell. If I go to the shell I get a # prompt. Is this a normalish bourne shell or something else? No commands seems to work.(mount, ls, etc.) Any hints on how to use this shell? Q2. In syslog.conf is there any way of excluding facilities/levels. Using the following syslog.conf: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/cron/log *.err root *.notice;news.err root *.alert root *.emerg * !startslip *.* /var/log/slip.log I have installed ipfw and want to log violations. I assume that ipfw uses the kernel facility but seems to do so at different levels. What I'd like to do is log all ipfw messages to one file rather than mixing them in with /var/log/messages. For example is it possible to say I want *.notice logged except kern.notice which I want to go to a different file? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
