In this case you will need to cd into standard.dbs and run: strings systables.dat | grep "log" This will give you some output line(s) that should contain "syslog" in it/them. This line will have the path to the standard.log. > >Cheers, >-- > >Mark. > >+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ >|Mark D.
