syslogd question

2006-02-10 Thread jabbott
I am setting up an openbsd box to be the catcher for a couple of AIX boxes to pitch their log files to. Using the standard syslogd, I am wondering if I can set it up so that each of the AIX boxes gets its own log file on the openbsd box. Something like /var/log/aix1.log and /var/log/aix2.log.
