The autoconf tool should look for vsyslog separately from the other syslog APIs. There should be a file called vsyslog.c which just contains source for vsyslog(). Also, the syslog() routines which are provided by krb5 do not work on HP-UX but I did not investigate much. More specifically, the LOG_NDELAY flag to openlog causes a ENOTSOCK error, and subsequent calls to syslog cause a EDESTADDRREQ error. --Sean ************************************************************ Sean Mullan Phone: (508) 436-4129 Hewlett-Packard Co.
