Hmm. I like that idea. I am working on a project where we are integrating the first samba server into a small NT network. As it is my first experience with a windows NT domain environment and the sysadmin (my brother) is not very linux savvy yet we were discussing today the best way for him to view the logs from windows, as he can for the three NT servers without having to log onto the box and going to the other tool. One of the things we discussed but have not tested is sharing /var/log and only granting access to the admin group. At least he can explore the dir and click on the logs to read them. Let me know what you come up with. Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
