Not to dampen the hate, not at all -- indeed, I want to add. The root problem is with Sys::Syslog's assuming that it can syslog through a unix socket. That's not a given. Solaris's syslog uses doors, and that's fair, because the only defined interface to syslog is the one in the C library. Sys::Syslog should just bleeding use the C library, instead of making unwarranted assumptions about the implementation of syslog. So, lots of hate to Sys::Syslog. We've been there, too. But that's perl for you. I hate perl. -- -D. dgc@xxxxxxxx.xxx University of Chicago > NSIT > VDN > ENSS > ENSA > You are here . . . . . . . always line up dots
