Won't this get you killed by your sysadmin if you're a "normal" user and producing thousands of lines of debugging messages in /var/log/debug ? The problem with syslog is that it can only be configured by root - as a normal user you can only send messages to the system log, but you have no control over where they go. -- Martin Baulig [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
