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.
