OTOH, syslog makes it a lot easier to have unified systems for log rotation etc. -- and I don't really see what you mean by "inflexible".

Of course, having both isn't bad. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
