There are two more options regarding log keeping in that section of freenet.conf. One of them is something like maxLinesCached, the other is maxBytesCached. I set these values to a low size, expecting fred to automatically discard older log information, and keep it all in one logfile (rather than generating dozens of logs). It didn't work. I went without checking the logfile for a while, and it ended up being close to 400MB! Just for fun, I attempted to open this file in several different editors. Most crashed, but one worked, and it took over 30 minutes for it to load! Am I misunderstanding what these options are for? I'm not interested in keeping very old log information, so I'd like to just discard it, and that's what I expected these settings to do. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
