      I searched on the forum for recent issues with syslogd - but didn't fiond anything related.

      I do use the CP - but no user are connected when this happens…
      I just 'click' and see it go sky high ...

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum.

          Geee,

          Logging
          Syslogd sometimes will go to 100% CPU utilization. Simply click save in the system logging settings tab.

          This is already very very known…  :P

          [[color=red]edit] and I even managed to eat up 'your time'… You posted just before me  :-[
