Nilesh,

These messages come from the named daemon. Check the /etc/named.boot file if query-log is enabled. See man named.

Hi Nilesh,,

Check in /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/syslogd.conf

I dont exactly remember..

See what are all the things that are sending the messages to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

If U find anything that is not worth,make a copy of the conf file and delete that entry
then restart the syslog daemon..

By the way,,why dont U try assiging points

Hi-

Mark is right about the named daemon causing the errors. I can't remember how I did it exactly, but you have to set something in the bootup to turn off the named daemon. (it might be in the startup scripts). In the meantime, killing the named process will stop the logging of those messages.

If your server is not a name server, then take the named out of the startup.

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs file and make
NAMED=0

Also, if you have any /etc/named.boot, either remove it or rename it.

This will get rid of named.
