[roland]

Hello,

I get suddenly these messages in the /var/log/messages
I looked in /var/log/secure, but this is empty and stays empty.

While working on the workstation one gets this:
Message from syslogd at tobielx at Fri Feb  8 12:09:52 2008 ...
tobielx last message repeated 16 times


Has anybody had the same experience?

Thanks for any help. I need this help very urgently, because it is  
blocking all operation on the workstations
Thanks for understanding

Roland
