Kudos to Joel Lee <jlee@thomas.com>.

I have a new script running debug ftp.

>SRDB ID: 11438

>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)
