   Yes and I say make a log directory to have the system to put the log in so is   
   it easy to find the logs for all systems, like /bbbs/logs/ and set bbbs to   
   create all its log this directory so do you know where the logs is found, and   
   then if there is more programs there produce log files can there be made a   
   synlink for all systems og mailer, bbbs and nodes for fido.   
   So if there is a daily user login there is used and a fido user etc. then have   
   a logs directory in example /home/user/log/ and all daily fido systems use   
   this by symlink.   
   As I have my user kofo and then for fidonet etc network /fido and in fido runs   
   all fido programs and my logs for fido is just create into /log directory and   
   there is now coming about 15 logs in it as my clam is making around 6 logs for   
   each hatched file directory misc. network, but there is 4 logs files for   
   dosemu runnings of my dosemu, then is there binkd, hpt, htick and nodelist   
   update, and mostly is it dosemu logs I am checking for if there is problem for   
   posting files to binkd filebox for games link if a file not have been get with   
   a connect and there goes days where the file is not send so can there come   
   some new files with same name.   
   For some time is there get in lot of files on zero bytes, before was it my   
   rntrack there checked this and dos hint.exe but not is my clamscan too find it   
   in inbound and delete it as a bad file, rntrack is more checking netmail with   
   body text and delete it.   
      
     Take care,
