On Windows XP? It should be readable by everybody. What permissions and ownership do you see for the log? For instance, I see: $ ll /var/log total 996K drwxrwxrwx+ 1 rberber None 0 Apr 1 19:10 ./ drwxr-xr-x 1 rberber None 0 Aug 14 2010 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM root 627K Apr 27 10:38 autossh.log -rw-r--r--+ 1 rberber None 0 Dec 3 17:29 messages autossh is running as a service, I don't have syslog-ng running so messages is empty, both files are world readable. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
