Hi!

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.

Marcus.
