It should work out of the box. A simple :syntax on should work. Vim's runtime files contain detection of logfiles below */log/ which should work for most of those files below /var/log/ without problems. But I believe there have been some changes on that matter to the runtime files within the last half year, so you might need to update your runtime files. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
