>Description:
I currently have implemented an nt authentication module for apache since 
I didn't like any of the currently registed modules...
(which I plan to submit to the apache module database when I am happy with it)

I am now attempting to create a ntauth.log file and was wondering where the
correct/appropiate place I should open the log file. I want to avoid
opening/closing the file all the time, and I want/need to make it as easy as
possible to integrate into later versions of apache (I also don't want to
use syslog either...). 

How/when/where should I create/open this file? 
Is there a way to do this without hacking the apache source code (too much)?
[ side note: Where is a good resource to the apache API? so I don't have to 
bug you guys with questions like this! ]
>How-To-Repeat:
not really... 
not really a problem!
>Fix:
An added datastruct to apache for misc logs to be opened?
