Not much left then. The most complete Debian log is > /var/log/syslog. Well, whatever. Personally I find it better to have all such messages in one log file (whatever name it may have), because otherwise I'd have to consult several files to see the actual sequence of messages that have been generated. But if others like to spread all log messages into various files, so be it. The problem in such cases is that before being able to get to the actual problem, there are discussions about where all the log messages might be... ;-) Klaus
