Does anyone know what causes this error message to appear in /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog? Aug 20 17:12:36 log write /dev/console error 9 This is our /etc/syslog.conf: 8/dev/console 8/usr/spool/mqueue/syslog 3/usr/adm/critical bhoward puglia root My best guess is some sort of tty permission problem. Since syslog runs as daemon, it may not always be able to echo errors of the appropriate level to the console thus generating a syslog error when it cannot. Is there a simple solution to this? Is it safe to run syslog as root?
