I think it should be pointed out that datagram messages to a Unix domain socket don't suffer the same network load losses that datagram messages across an ethernet do. The quality of reception will generally be based purely on system load, since an external network is not involved. You won't be losing lots of log messages on account of a large file transfer between two other hosts. Therefore, I think reliance on datagram-based syslog to a Unix domain socket is not so prone to failure as some other posters have implied. -- Jefferson Ogata <jogataat_private> National Oceanographic Data Center You can't step into the same river twice. -- Herakleitos
