I've been perusing man syslog and man syslog.conf, and haven't gotten my mind quite wrapped around it yet. I have 4 FBSD 5.3 servers on my network, each running postfix 2.x. One is a mail gateway to our Exchange server, the others are just using postifx for mailing out the daily/weekly/monthly/security logs, while they perform their other duties. I want to have the normal logging (in this case /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog) happen both locally and sent to a remote syslog server. I haven't yet modified syslog.conf on any of these machines. Am I correct in believing that all I have to do to make this happen is uncomment the line that says: #*.* @loghost and change @loghost to match my syslog server? That is, along with making sure that name resolution works correctly, of course. TIA, Kurthelp
