You can also create the log files in their own directory (in which normal users don't have write permission) and create symlinks in ~user pointing to that log directory. Depending upon the exact needs this method protects the system and is a lot easier than managing a whole system of userids. Again, running non-root is good. You can create a UID for nothing but this task in fact. -=Jim=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
