Thanks for the response. I have double-checked things, and added a logdir directive to both the "master" config file and the included one as well (have tried running the included file independantly for troubleshooting).
Here is the relevant information from my master, included file, and directory permissions : [EMAIL PROTECTED] mrtg]$ cat master-pps.cfg Interval: 5 Refresh: 300 RunAsDaemon: yes LogDir: /var/log/mrtg WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/pps Options[_]: growright,nopercent WithPeak[_]: wmy IconDir: /images Include: /home/mrtg/rtc-vi-pps.cfg [EMAIL PROTECTED] mrtg]$ more rtc-vi-pps.cfg ### Global Defaults LogDir: /var/log/mrtg EnableIPv6: no Options[_]: nopercent,growright WithPeak[_]: wmy Directory[_]: rtc-vi WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/pps <snip rest of config file> [EMAIL PROTECTED] mrtg]# ls -l /var/log |grep mrtg drwxrwsr-x 5 root mrtg 4096 Mar 7 20:58 mrtg [EMAIL PROTECTED] mrtg]# ls -l /var/log/mrtg drwxrwsr-x 2 root mrtg 4096 Mar 7 21:02 master-pps drwxrwsr-x 2 root mrtg 4096 Mar 7 20:58 rtc-vi-pps I have also logged in as the user 'mrtg' and can create files in the /var/log/mrtg/ directory (as well as the workdir). Any other thoughts on why this doesn't work as the user 'mrtg' as it did before under version 2.9.29?? Thanks for all your help.
