This version of newsyslog runs on several production (3.4) machines since November 3, 1999 without problems. If there are no strong objections, i'll commit it to current. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe We all live in a yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine ...
