tail -f /var/adm/messages

[Johann Spies <jhspies@ilink.nis.za>]

What did I do to get the following output from  "tail -f /var/adm/messages"?

Nov  3 12:44:01 Johann last message repeated 65817 times
Nov  3 12:45:01 Johann last message repeated 66331 times
Nov  3 12:46:01 Johann last message repeated 66326 times
Nov  3 12:47:01 Johann last message repeated 63128 times
Nov  3 12:48:01 Johann last message repeated 50075 times
Nov  3 12:49:01 Johann last message repeated 54363 times
Nov  3 12:50:01 Johann last message repeated 61691 times

At first it worked well while I was trying to debug my ppp-script
(which btw I so far did not succceed with).  I changed some
file-permissions as a result of the output of the messages-file.  

At the moment the above output is all that I get.


Can somebody help, please?
