I've just noticed a syslog entry that I had missed: "wwwoffled[1358]: Cannot open log file '/var/log/wwwoffle' [Permission denied]." What appears to have happened was that wwwoffled started as root, created /var/log/wwwoffle as writable only by root, and then changed user to daemon. It and its forks then lost access to the log file, causing problems. The workround is dead easy: "chown daemon. /var/log/wwwoffle". Hopefully Andrew will sometime add a chown(2) call somewhere between opening/creating the file and the setuid call :-). Since changing the log file ownership I've seen pictures half-fill, pause, and then complete, and not seen any partial pictures. While I've only seen a small sample I am hopeful that everything will be OK now. -- John F Hall
