----
to answer both you and Les - craig is a real linux user and has a passwd
and can login via ssh...
# ssh craig@srv1
craig@srv1's password:
Last login: Sun Jan 22 07:31:34 2006 from win-workstation.azapple.com
this is exasperating to say the least.
# ls -l /var/log/nxserver.log
-rw------- 1 nx root 0 Jan 23 15:54 /var/log/nxserver.log
since it's empty and /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure also give
absolutely no hints
Thanks
Craig
