Hi,


    I've got one question about system logs and server security. As far =
I know there is a C function syslog(...) which may be used to write =
something to the system log. What should be done to prevent users from =
using it and doing nasty things with system log. Changing permisions to =
header syslog.h won't work of course. What should I do ?


I would be very gratefull for any answer
