Reading Log files with NetTracker


I'm trying to do some web analyzing with NetTracker Lite. The install has seemed to gone very well. The web interface is working. I can not access my log files through NetTracker however. It is really starting to get me stumped. Did many google searches and came up with nothing. I am running FC4 with SELinux turned on. Let me know if you need any files shown. I am at a loss to even which ones would be helpful.

Thanks

SELinux seems to put extra security on certain paths including log paths to prevent people from getting at them. Changing the permissions doesn't even seem to have an effect. The only workarounds I've been able to come up with are to turn off SELinux or set up a shell script to copy my logs every night to a new location (as root), change permissions, then execute a nettracker update. The script works well and once it was set up I didn't have to think about it any more. It's also nice because now I have an automatic backup of my logs on my second drive if something should go wrong on my system drive.

Actually I did end up doing that, except the script I wrote also pre-processed the files to replace the IP address with the hostname. I didn't think that NetTracker was doing too good of a job in that respect so I did it myself haha. Thanks for the idea though
