Any way to supress xinetd on the System Log?

[LFCavalcanti]

This is flodding the System Log, all over the place!

Hapenning in all servers running 2.3 by the way.

Come on… am I the only one with this issue?

No easy way… would have to be shunted to some other log via syslog

Or maybe in filter.inc around line 2387 where it's launched you can edit "-filelog /dev/null" into its parameters

Or you can ditch NAT+Proxy reflection for pure NAT reflection and it'll stop xinetd entirely. :-)

…lots of spam in the log recently. Hard to find anything useful.

I just send xinetd logging to ntp.log (tried to send it to his own log just in case, but couldn't). It's probably not a permanent solution, i guess syslog.conf file will be rewritten on reboot.

Just change this two lines on /etc/syslog.conf and restart the syslogd service

!ntp,ntpd,ntpdate,xinetd
