Encrypted syslog over network

2006-01-27 Thread Erik Norgaard

Hi:

I was thinking, is there any way of secure syslogging to a different 
server?


AFAIK syslog uses udp/514 and I would like to monitor a number of remote 
hosts.


Now, for privacy and security reasons, I would like that the syslog 
messages are sent encrypted. This may require pre-shared keys as the udp 
protocol does not include a handshake and key exchange.


Any solution for this? syslog-ng doesn't seem to include such feature.

Thanks, Erik

It's 2006. IPSec is the answer.

Yeah, I considered that, but then you have the problem with NAT, 
something lighter would be neat.

Well, I would say It's 2006. IPv6 is the answer, but you'll
probably find another reason not to do it :-)

Ssh port forwarding is the second solution on my list.
