Actually, one would. It always takes conscious effort for me to remember that syslog won't create non-existent logfiles. That means I have to go touch a bunch of files when, for instance, I'm setting up a jail(8). It seems extremely counter-intuitive to me that I can't just say "Log to this file" and have it start logging there, without me laying out a yellow brick road. Forget kqueue. Just an O_CREAT. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix Systems Administrator | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
