Or is this a situation where there's two separate activities: 1) fixing syslog 2) fixing the applications where (2) can start with patches (to open-source software, anyway) that add simple syslog() calls with the information we're interested in. Once (1) is done, it's just a matter of tweaking the existing syslog calls. -jeff -- Prescription-drug prices are expected to be a major issue in the 2000 presidential campaign. What do you think?
