I already asked this at the Parallels forums, but no response.

Since I'm using CentOS 5 (with all updates), /var/log/messages gets submerged by the same log message over and over again:

Code: Select all

Mar  8 14:17:10 xxx xinetd[2409]: EXIT: smtp status=1 pid=4638 duration=5(sec)
Mar  8 14:17:13 xxx xinetd[2409]: START: smtp pid=4659 from={ip-address}

CentOS 4 didn't have that "problem". What's the cause and how can I fix it?

Thats normal, its logging the SMTP connections to the server. Nothing to worry about. If you want to change the logging system, check out the man page for syslog.conf
