This is not a FreeBSD specific questions, but I'm a bit suck on this one and
this group is quite knowable.

I have an application that that writes log files to /var/hold/app_log/  I'd like
to set-up a method for user to easily view the log files on the FreeBSD box from
their PCs.  (Each user has an account on the box, and the log files are owned by
each user with permissions of 600.)

The simplest solution to this problem seem an IE url.
(http://user@host/var/hold/app_log/file.log). Unfortunately, with this URL, IE5
assumes that "/" is /home/$user.  After looking at some technical documents on
URLs, I can't figure out how to override this?

Anybody overcome this issue before?

Thanks.

Greg.

PS: Samba is not an option due to political reasons. :-(

PSS: I've already though of creating symbolic links in each users home
directory, but I'd rather not do this if not necessary.
