[Xastir] Can't open igate.log

[Ray Wells]

Norm,

Do you use Midnight Commander as a file manager? sudo apt-get install mc

If you ever used Norton Commander in the good old days of DOS, using MC 
will be immediately obvious to you. It's the same apart fro o/s 
differences. There's also a Windows Commander for Windows users.
