Rene, Perhaps the subject of my bug report has been taken too literally. As shown above, multitail appears to throw an assertion and reveals the innards somewhat. To a non-C coder and user like myself it looks like something has gone wrong. Multitail should do what tail does and report: "multitail: cannot open `auth.log' for reading: No such file or directory" > No bug -> close. Please reconsider. > > [ BTW, WTF did you file this bug *3* times? ] *I* didn't but my MTA did. There was clearly a problem.
