Ok. Could you give us the full error message, in context.

I take it that this error is random: It shows up in logfiles occasionally, not when you are running a particular program. You also do not notice any particular program or feature failing. If any of that is incorrect, please tell us. If all of that is correct, then tell us that too.

Also, where is this error message appearing.

Lastly, please confirm what version of FreeBSD you are using. The output of "uname -a" will give us all of that.

Please answer _all_ questions that I, or anyone else asks. It is very frustrating when you ask an important question as well as a less important one, and you cannot get all the answers.

This is what a full syslog entry looks like. Syslog enties are found in /var/log/messages, as well as other /var/log files.
Code:
Jul 11 22:09:03 boffin ppp[2870]: Warning: set log local: Only available on the command line
You will notice, first, the date stamp, then the machine's hostname (boffin), then the name of the program (ppp), followed by it's PID(2870). The rest is the error message that the program gave. You should have all of this information.
