I really should make this a bit more user friendly, but for now: $ ESPmode= esp logreader /var/log/$USER/real.log where $USER is the user account name that encountered the error. You will get lots of output, hit control-C to abort. To dump the readable log to a file: $ ESPmode= esp logreader /var/log/$USER/real.log >real.esplog Do this on ESPlapcow, not the target. The log file is mounted via NFS by the target from ESPlapcow anyway. Load the real.esplog into your favorite text editor and search away. If this is too unwieldly, I can write a bit of ruby to search the real.log for the records of interest. Let me know... -brent
