On your syslog receiving box, just add -r to the syslogd invocation, as described above. On your syslog sending boxes, just add a syslog destination line to syslog.conf, same as usual, but instead of specifying a log file, specify a logging host with @hostname (which you should probably add to /etc/hosts). man syslogd has a whole section on support for remote logging, which is pretty clear (at least on unstable, perhaps the woody one is poop, haven't checked). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ "No shit, [EMAIL PROTECTED]" - Mr. Bad -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
