Apr 21 15:03:43 om rc: Starting kheader:  succeeded
Apr 21 15:03:43 om portsentry[1729]: adminalert: Psionic PortSentry 1.1 is
start
ing.
Apr 21 15:03:44 om portsentry: Starting portsentry -atcp:
succeeded.......with an [OK] folling each line.

Right now I'm getting this for example>starting multiuser mode........on a
blue screen with some sort of white icon right above it.
And it does this for every process it starts up at boot.
