Memory is cheap, and certainly the syslogd wouldn't use that much, would it? Also, it's not like you couldn't have the messages fall back to the NTeventlog or Ugly-syslog, should the service not be started or fail. I bet it would even be possible to have syslogd pass messages to the NT Event Log, as well. Anyhow, the concept of running a full blown installation of cygwin w/o any additional processes will be moot once cygserver becomes mainstream. IMHO, the NT Event Log is not very extensible and, of course, is proprietary. Just my 2 cents... Cheers, Nicholas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
