Re: configure syslog informations

[Sergio A Lima Junior <sergio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Friend!
 
Unfortunately the solution for the problem seems to be farther away than
expected.
/etc/inetd.conf current configuration is as follows: 
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait.250  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd   ipop3d
This configuration was made necessary so that the pop connections
(receiving)
won't stop responding. 
The thing  is that an average number of 2000+ requests are made per
hour, 
and the entire network has more than 400 users.
My idea:
make the server not to register pop sessions (login/logout); this way 
I could keep the log service (syslogd) from requesting over 90% of 
the hardware's processing power, thus avoiding sendmail to have a
rejecting connections: load average” status.
se houver alguma sugestão, eu agradeco.
If you have any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear from you.
