Question about logging system and use of external HDD.

Hi. The point is to completely decrease the use of external HDD by system. I already disabled samba logging, but it seem to be isn't enought, so I got the couple of questions:

1)Is there a possibility to completely disable all logging in DD-WRT (I'm using dd-wrt.v24-14896_NEWD-2_K2.6_big.bin). The point is to completely decrease the use of external HDD by system.

2)Can I disable linux swap on wnr3500l somehow(I guess there's pretty much RAM onboard for that)?

I am not able to understand

I am not able to understand your problem clearly. Can you please elaborate on that?

If I have not misunderstood, you want to disable all kind of remote login facilities, and you can easily do that from router WebUI (Administration -> Management -> Remote Access).

Sorry, I meant to disable all event logging and not logging into system (which is of course already disabled in "Remote Access" settings).

Are you trying to prevent

Are you trying to prevent generation of logs by various daemons(viz. samba) running on the board?
For that case, there is a daemon named "syslogd", which helps various application to maintain their log. You can try killing that daemon for your purpose(though it depends if that particular application uses syslog utility to maintain its log or not).
