logfile-analyzer

[Andrew Perrin - Demography]

Hm, that seems like a low priority to me - since all Event Viewer seems to
do vis-a-vis a text file is remove potentially useful information. I'm
afraid I don't get what's wrong with logging to a text file, although I
agree that logging as it's currently in samba is more useful for debugging
than for auditing.
