Yup, for remote syslogging you still want a syslog. There are various things you can do with the journal remotely (e.g. you can mount remote journals via NFS to a single machine and then read all the logs in via the -m command to journalctl, or you can use the journal gatewayd to get a nice web interface to the logs on remote machines. There will be further efforts to do networking with the journal, but due to the fact it carries a lot more metadata than plain syslog, it cannot go directly via syslog protocol anyway. But yeah, if you want remote syslog logging, just install rsyslog or similar :) Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
