Since you are writing from SuSE I assume you are talking about C-Kermit
on Linux? And the log you are referring to is the session log?
: Is it possible to get kermit to not log what comes from the local end or
: alternatively not log some lines based on a filter?
:
Normally -- i.e. on full-duplex connections with remote echoing -- the
session log does not record passwords because the remote side does not
echo them. Passwords would only be recorded in the session if (a) they
are echoed remotely (a bad practice), or (b) if you have a half-duplex
local-echo connection.
To answer your question, filters can be applied to logs as described here:
