syslog flood, not a problem, more like informational


pinebook pro all up to date

syslog getting thousands of the following
Quote:

This looks like a patch, I'm not using mc but I'm logged in via ssh as mentioned in the link
Quote:
Under mc-4.8.10 (distribution version of Slackware-14.1) the problem exists as follows:
when logged in as regular user at console, the problem does not happen
when logged in via ssh, the problem exists.
I have applied the latest version 4.8.14, the problem still persists.
screen was not involved in my testcases. Only remote sessions via ssh (putty client) using TERM=linux
and mentioned here.

One can configure syslog to use separate log files. This makes it easier to separate problems or, in this case, ignore them.

I had a quick look at the Debian patch set for gpm and didn't see which one it would be, if it was ever actually fixed there. If you find it let me know.

the syslog flood of those messages was using ssh via /usr/bin/uxterm, using konsole there's no syslog message flood
