+<P>Traces BOS Server operations
+<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
+<P>The <B>BosLog</B> file records a trace of Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server
+(<B>bosserver</B> process) operations on the local machine and describes
+any error conditions it encounters.
+<P>If the <B>BosLog</B> file does not already exist in the
+<B>/usr/afs/logs</B> directory when the BOS Server starts, the server
+process creates it and writes initial start-up messages to it. If there
+is an existing file, the BOS server renames it to
+<B>BosLog.old</B>, overwriting the existing
+<B>BosLog.old</B> file if it exists.
+<P>The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
+<B>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</B> file can use the <B>bos getlog</B>
+command to display its contents. Alternatively, log onto the server
+machine and use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX
+<B>cat</B> command. By default, the mode bits on the
+<B>BosLog</B> file grant the required <B>r</B> (<B>read</B>)
+permission to all users.
+<P>The BOS Server records operations only as it completes them, and cannot
+recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
+useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other
+problems.
