I didn't know any such feature exists at all.

You can already log arbitrary additional information to the access log right now. I log the OpenACS user_id to the access log on every request, using the 'ns_param ExtendedHeaders X-User-Tracking' method Vadim Nasardinov figured out back in 2001 What I'd really like, so some way to include the same user_id info in the server/error log! Or even better, some simple way to exactly match up each hit in the access log with all the actions it triggered in the server log. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
