from where are the devlabel messages in /var/log/message

[sting sting]

Hello,
I know about the devlabel messages in /var/log/messages ; from where do they 
stem ?
; I read about it in the author website (http://www.lerhaupt.com/linux.html)
but there was very little info , amd also the devlabel tar.gz does not 
contain much.

I understood that it has to do with symbolic links.

It is installed on my Linux platform (as part of the Linux installation );
Now , I wat to know what is the origin of the devlabel messages in the
log file ?
These  messages consist the following text :  "devlabel: devlabel service 
started/restarted"
I had searched under the 2.4.20-8 sources for "devlabel" and could not fnd 
anything.

what is the  kermel origin of these devlabel  messages ?
regards,
john

There is no kernel orgin of these messages.  The devlabel program is
being run from the hotplug scripts, which run when a device is plugged
in or removed from the system.  All in userspace.

Hope this helps,
