syslog question

["G. Kapetanios" <gk205@cus.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I just installed the unstable version on my computer. Everything seems
fine bu tthere is one problem . I have my innitab file sending the
contents of /tmp/messages to /dev/tty8 . Additionally I have 
the syslog.conf file sending some messages to /tmp/messages so I can see
syslog mesages on /dev/tty8. Now what happens is that stuff are written to
/tmp/messages but are not sent to /dev/tty8 which remains empty. Instead
they are sent to /dev/tty1 . I thought bash 2.0 might have something to do
with this so I downgraded to 1.14.--   . The problem has disappeared. So
bash 2.0 is to blame. I don't mind sticking to 1.14. for the moment. But
does any new program from unstable depend on 2.0 ?? Additionally what can
I do to solve my syslog problem. I would  really appreciate any help.  


                                      Thanks 
                                      George
