DESCRIPTION

The default behavior of the filer syslogd daemon (see na_syslogd(8)) is to print all logging messages of priority info or higher to the console, and to the messages file. A typical message is:

Every Saturday at 24:00, /etc/messages is moved to /etc/messages.0, /etc/messages.0 is moved to /etc/messages.1, and so on. Message files are saved for a total of six weeks.
