Andy,=20

=20

I have already updated the defect with this info.=20

=20

There is one more issue raised along with it which is 'kern.log messages
are also going to /var/log/messages'.=20

=20

I have done the fix for this and please review it.

=20

        Partial fix for defect  TED00022673 /var full on g5r204.

        log files are taking all the space.(cougar)

=20

        Fixed the issue of kernel messages going to /var/log/messages as
reported in

        the defect. Also done similar changes for other logs.

=20

Affected files ...

=20

... //depot/dev/nfx-tree/code/ssc-elog/syslog.conf.linux#2 edit

kumarv@compile2>

Client - kumarv-DEV

Path : /homes/kumarv/work/dev/nfx-tree/code/ssc-elog/syslog.conf.linux

=20

But now after doing that change, I got a doubt whether we really require
the log files /var/log/messages and /var/log/debug? Because the messages
in these files are subset of messages in /var/log/syslog and other logs.

Please clarify me.=20

Kumar,

=20

Paste this info into the bug and move onto something else, as I believe

we will want to fine tune this, but it doesn't rise to the level of a

BMF, unless there is something else I'm not aware of.

Cheers,
