Hi Ren=C3=A9,

I don't have any ll in the shell. Not recognized.
So I can't see the=20
I have syslog-ng running. Should I replace that by autossh?
Strange enough the file /var/log/messages could not be opened by Windows.
Tried with Textpad and Notepad. In both occasions it said: "access denied".
So I installed cron and now copy /var/log/messages to a different location
every 10 minutes. I can now read that file from Windows. However, copying
that file creates an entry in the /var/log/messages file.
So better quit syslog-ng and cron and use autossh instead?

Fokke
