I did this by = moving the directory, and then adding a soft link from /var/log to the = moved directory, using something like: ln -s /home/wwwlog /var/log/www This works great, but something is deleting the soft link.=20 Is there anything in the freebsd base that 'cleans up' the /var/log = directory? Any hints on how I can discover what is doing this clean up, = or a way to protect this link from being deleted? Thanks: John
