Symlinks work across partitions, but the problem is that symlinks (or hardlinks for that matter..) won't work here. GDM is responsible for setting up the redirection, and before doing so it moves the existing .xsession-errors to .xsession-errors.old. This is intentional, so in case of a suddenly terminating X session the old logging of the previous session is still available. This means that the (symbolic) link will just end up being moved to .xsession-errors.old, thus defeating the purpose. >> Does anyone know an alternate way to move this logfile, or if everything >> else fails how to silence it? > > Symlink to /dev/null? :-) Alas :) Thanks for thinking along with me. -- Martijn van Buul - p...@dohd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
