You first have to install the accounting package. You don't say which OS you're running, but I'll assume RedHat/CentOS. The RPM for that is sysstat. You'll need to read the documentation for it -- you want to enable the lines in the crontab that are associated with process accounting. (I don't have a Linux box nearby to check which ones those are.)
How often have you been seeing these mDNS messages?

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux.
I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK.
Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)
