Although it's not quite the same thing, I wrote a pretty
simple Perl script to keep track of disk space usage on a number of
file servers. Because df needed to be run as root (access to /proc
wasnm't allowed for underprivileged users) I setuided it to root.
If I were you I would chgrp the /var/log to logviewer, or
something like that. Then I would SetGID the script so it would run
as the group (logviewer). Then you could read/parse/whatever the logs
and use FTP, email, or something similar to send the log files to your
main box.
