All logging is defined by the syslog configuration file, which is probably /etc/syslog.conf. This is its position in the fs on Mandrake 8.x, and I don't suppose they have had any reason to change it. In the syslog.conf file you will find full details as to which files are used by the syslog daemon for logging. # Mail logging mail.=debug;mail.=info;mail.=notice -/var/log/mail/info mail.=warn -/var/log/mail/warnings mail.err -/var/log/mail/errors Other distributions of Linux and other unixes will be different. YMMV, take care. Use the command 'man 5 syslog.conf' ( without the quotes ) to savour the full flavour of the wizard's brew. -- C. S.
