this reminds me of ajay asking why networked printing didn't work.  i
suggested that he look at /var/log/messages.  i don't think he liked
that suggestion because it took him a couple of days to get around to
looking at the logs and said that in the meantime he wanted another
solution.  nobody offered one.

so a few days pass, he checked the logs and was able to fix the problem
right away.


bill, now about your logs...   ;)
