Not that I can remember. If I do remember correctly, what I did was copy the entry for syslog-facility. Which is set as PGC_POSTMASTER. I don't know if there is rationale behind that one, but I think that's where I got it from. (same goes for syslog-ident). I see no direct reason why you shouldn't be able to change it via at SIGHUP. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
