I think you're right. but I can visualize a horrid hack (that I don't want to do, but nevertheless...). it looks as if in syslog.conf you can specify either a file to write to for each class of data. or you can specify a pipe (a fifo, I think). if you had a process listening on that fifo it could do some filtering for you. but I don't think I want to trust my system logging to such a hack. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know?
