Works really well. We use this version of phpsyslogng: http://deathstar.com/PhpSyslogNG/ and one of all guides is this one: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_setup_PHP-Syslog-NG /Henrik ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
