I think he was right, but that file is only written after changing the
right option file and running pon. In any case to find out where it is
being written to, you can use "ls -l /var/log --sort=size -r". If it
doesn't work, you probably got the wrong option file. There might be
others in the same directory having some name appened. Set the debug
options in all of them...
