Pretty powerful and not very hard to configure. It's available as Port (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/syslog-ng/pkg-descr). The following places might help if someone wants to learn about how to do central syslog and maybe monitoring your syslogs: "Centralized Syslog Loghost Project" http://www.campin.net/newlogcheck.html "Syslog-ng FAQ" http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html The online sample chapter from the O'Reilly book "Building Secure Servers with Linux". It covers "System Log Management and Monitoring": http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bssrvrlnx/chapter/index.html http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bssrvrlnx/chapter/ch10.pdf Regards, Markus -- Unix _IS_ userfriendly.
