I for one (syslog-ng) don't plan to add native support to SSH, although
SSH can be integrated into syslog-ng by using the program destination,
something like this:
program("ssh -i /etc/syslog-ng/ssh.key [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/logger -f");
However I don't see this as a very good solution. On the other hand I'm
planning on adding TLS natively (instead of using stunnel style hacks).
