Couldn't find any log files with names like that but here is the output from
tail -f /var/log/messages from restarting of the daemon witth a couple of 
boxes requesting addresses. Something obviously doesn't look right but I 
don't know what. It goes without saying (I hope) that the domain name 
'quarndon.net' is not legal on the Internet itself as ours is a purely 
private network behind a firewall (a router providing NAT actually)
