Thanks Kent. Unfortunately ssh won't meet the requirements.. Any IP changes will cause key interference. <br />
<br />
Either way, i believe they write to /var/log/messages anyway don't they? <br />
the issue would still remain in that case..

With sshd, you control the logging via the<br />
<br />
SyslogFacility<br />
LogLevel <br />
<br />
options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

thanks nopius, <br />
I've already redirected all output of the script to other log files. I'll change the syslog daemon. <br />
<br />
thank you all.

How do you turn off logging for rsh/rlogin/rcp? I'm running CentOS 4.4 and have &quot;replication&quot; running between<br />
2 machines that automatically copies over data from one machine to another. In the process there are several <br />
rsh command executing that are logged to /var/log/messages, making it 100's of MBs in size. <br />
<br />
I tried blanking out log_on_success in /etc/xinetd.d/rsh and restarting xinetd. Nothing in /etc/syslog.conf, nothing that I can change in /etc/xinetd.conf. <br />
<br />
Not sure if this is hard-coded in the rshserver... any ideas?

how do we turn off rsh logging to /var/log/messages?
