Actually, now that you mention it, that is one of the things I've already done prior to this problem since the volume of messages was getting a bit high. I'll start up syslogd in debugging mode later with an strace around it and see if I can see what's upsetting it... Regards, Bob Purdon, Technical Manager, Southern Internet Services.
