If you want the fortigate systems to forward their logs to the OpenBSD system, it is as simple as setting the -u option to syslog on the OpenBSD side. If you have a firewall setup, you obviously have to poke a hole for the syslog packets to make it through. OpenBSD will generally log received events to various log files automatically. I didn't see a way to log all messages from a host to a host specific log file, so I'm guessing that isn't possible. If you need that functionality there are a couple of other syslog daemons that have it. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
