Yes - the last entry is from last Thursday when we started the server
up after our upgrade:

[servername] (Client) Thu May 18 18:06:23 2006
Guardian starting: C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5
\bin\fbserver.exe

That brings up another point - that's all that is in the log. Is
there a setting I'm missing that tells Firebird what and how much to
enter in the log? Be gentle - I've only been working with FB for a
few months. Most of my time has been spent with Oracle and SQLServer,
that will write volumes to the log.
