Wow, I can see how you'd be frustrated. Do you have any filters that might be preventing particular messages from being written to the file? Put in a catchall destination to see if it differs from the logging to your filtered files. http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html#logall Hope this helps. -- Nate "Java is, in many ways, C++--." - Michael Feldman.
