It always has been in the past. The thing is that the web server should be serving pages, not mucking with log files. The other thing is that rotation is going to need to be different on different platforms. How does Windows handle it if you try to rotate a log file in the middle of writing to the log. There is definitely a race condition there, where you are writing a message in one thread, and another thread moves the file out of the way? I really think that if NetWare can't use the current mod_log_config then I think you need to write a NetWare specific logging module. Ryan
