Hey Rainer, I want my configuration files to be generic. Creating all Linux standard log files manually is not generic (i might have problems when updating the system for example). Example: 1) Install linux on a machine (CentOS 6.3 for ex.) 2) delete /var/log/messages3) restart rsyslogd Result : /var/log/messages is created with is natlive permissions, owner, group ... Isn't possible to go back to this state after creating specific app log files with specific permissions, groups .. ??? El Fatayri Anwar
