Hi, I have a few questions regarding Syslog: 1. I know it is possible to send a syslog to a different machine; does this have any security implications? 2. Is it actually useful to log to a machine dedicated to logging? Or do most of you keep logfiles on the machine that is logging? 3. If I would like to have one virtual console dedicated to syslog (say the one 'under' ALT-F12), how would I configure this so that it only displays logs there, instead of all my root windows, and how do I configure the Virtual Console in such a way that it will not give a login prompt on that Console? (I remember having set this up under Linux years ago). Any help is appreciated.
