[gentoo-user] Privoxy log access rights
Hi All, Could you please tell me what is the access rights on the provoxy log file on your machine? For some reason mine look like this: # ls -la /var/log/ | grep priv drwxr-x--- 2 51 privoxy 408 Sep 21 07:40 privoxy -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Do ls -l /var/log/privoxy to see the logfile. Why did you use grep here, that's what caused the confusion? -- Neil Bothwick If you cannot fix it, feature it. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Probably the result of some corruption? I used grep to just list privoxy instead of the whole of /var/log. I could as well have used ls -la /var/log/privoxy (and type fewer characters) but the power of habit forced my hand!
