Ahh OK - I didn't understand that.
Unfortunately however I cannot test this at the moment. You see I run
that (F15) box headless and administer it by SSH'ing into it. I could
get physical access to the machine later, but then I'd also have to get
a monitor, mouse and keyboard for it (not impossible - but a hassle
nevertheless).

That sounds interesting. Please keep me posted.

At least I am one step closer with syslog working, but it could
certainly be easier...

Thanks very much for your help so far. Much appreciated.
