>SYNOPSIS: Repeating console message: syslog: _s_synch: siptr: 390b0
>
>DETAIL DESCRIPTION:
>
>The message:
>
> syslog: _s_synch: siptr: 390b0
>
>repeats intermittently on the console. Stopping/Starting
>syslog does not fix the message.
>
>SOLUTION SUMMARY:
>
>User had turned on debug mode from ftp. Every time he did a remote
>command within his ftp session it produced the message on his console.
>
>For example:
>
> ftp -p <system>
>
>Issue a "dir" command and the console will report the above message.
>
>Another possibility is that /etc/syslog.conf has been edited.
>To confirm do the following:
>
> cd /var/sadm/install
> grep syslog.conf contents
>
>Then do:
>
> sum /etc/syslog.conf
>
>The sum should match as follows:
>
>% grep syslog.conf contents
>/etc/syslog.conf e syslogconf 0644 root sys 1317 46619 831096150 SUNWcsr
> ^^^^^
>scotty% sum /etc/syslog.conf
>46619 3 /etc/syslog.conf
>^^^^^
>
>(The sum may be different from this example)
