Take a look at syslog-ng. I'm very happy with it. I configured mine to
log to /var/log/$hostname/$date-messages, and it dumps one file per log
(i.e. messages, auth) prefixed with the date into the directory (one
directory per host). That's easily configured in syslog-ng.conf.
For example:
destination messages { file("/var/log/$HOST/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY-messages"); };
I highly recommend it over the plain old syslog.
Regards,
Frank
