I had never played with the logs (it was off).
I was playing with it trying to get some output on the ident problem.
All of the sudden ident started working. I hate when it happens.
Now we won't ever know what was the problem.
The worse is that I don't know if it will come back.
Is there anything you'd like me to try?
Otherwise, I'll let you know when it sneaks on me again.
Thanks
PS: And I haven't figured out yet how to get the log facility to log
what I need :(
The docs on loging are not very clear. Do you know of any mail thread or
document some where?
