Okay, I forgot to specify those in my email. We're using Windows 2000 on
this box.
Drilling down to the last folder ("logs"), the permissions are set to
Everyone->Full Control. These are inherited permissions from the parent
folder(s).
Is there any way to get some sort of debug output from
DailyRollingFileAppender so we can get a more specific cause the next time
it happens?
