Controlling Message Logging

Messages are logged to the display screen (stdout) and to the dce_config log file, /tmp/dce_config.log. Some of the types of messages are always displayed and logged. However, using the environment variables described in Setting Environment Variables, you can control the display and logging of others. The following table lists the message types and how to control their display or logging.
