Can you show us the content of /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/rsyslog.conf, whichever is on your system. It would be goo to know which OS and version you are using, so the output of uname -a would be useful too.
Do you know what is generating the messages in the first place? We might be able to adjust the logging variables it uses to help us segregate these.
Kind regards,
Robin

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)

rsvpd(8) System Manager's Manual rsvpd(8)
NAME
rsvpd - Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rsvpd [-h] [-d level] [-p] [-l logfile] [-i [version]]
OPTIONS
Prints the rsvpd help and exits. Enables debug mode. The debug level is either all (the default) or a bitmask that specifies a combina-
tion of the following values: 0x01 (SYSTEM) 0x02 (TMR) 0x04 (API) 0x08 (MSGS) 0x10 (TCNTL) 0x20 (SESS) 0x40 (ROUTE) Forces rsvpd to stay
attached to the terminal and print error and debug information to stderr instead of the log file. Specifies an alternative log file. By
default, the log file is /var/rsvp/rsvpd_dbg.log. Specifies a list of Internet Protocol (IP) version numbers. Possible values are 4, 6,
or 46.
DESCRIPTION
The rsvpd daemon is the RSVP daemon that starts automatically at boot time. Upon startup, rsvpd performs the following actions: Writes its
PID to the /var/run/rsvpd.pid file. Detects all existing interfaces on the system. Detaches from the terminal unless the -p option is
specified. Creates the /var/rsvp directory, if it does not exist.
The rsvpd daemon logs startup, stop, and error messages through the syslog function to the /usr/var/adm/syslog.dated/date/daemon.log log
file. If you specify the -d option, rsvpd logs error messages and debugging output to the /var/rsvp/rsvpd_dbg.log log file or to a log
file specified with the -l logfile option.
If you want rsvpd to start automatically at system boot time, place an entry for it in the /etc/inet.local file. For example:
echo "Starting local Internet services." # do not let RSVP reserve more than 20 Mbit/s on the FDDI interface /usr/sbin/iftcntl fta0 config
max_total_r 20000000 # start the RSVP daemon /usr/sbin/rsvpd
If you make any changes to the network interface configuration, restart the rsvpd daemon.
If you want to use mrouted and rsvpd on a system, start mrouted before rsvpd.
If mrouted is running on your system, rsvpd acts as an RSVP multicast router. If IPv4/IPv6 forwarding is enabled on the system, rsvpd acts
as an RSVP IPv4/IPv6 unicast router.
Restricting RSVP Usage
To restrict RSVP usage to a limited number of users on the system, set the permissions for the /var/rsvp directory as follows: # chmod 750
/var/rsvp # chgrp staff /var/rsvp
Those users who cannot access the /var/rsvp directory will be unable to request RSVP reservations, use any RSVP API (RAPI) function, or use
the rsvpstat command.
RESTRICTIONS
You must be superuser to invoke the rsvpd daemon.
FILES
The rsvpd log file when debugging is enabled. This directory contains the RSVP API library UNIX domain socket. The file that contains the
process ID of the rsvpd daemon that is currently running.
