I am looking to dump the log files from various Cisco routers on to one of various FreeBSD boxes we are running ( mainly FreeBSD 4.4 ) once the logs have been dumped to then rotate these in a similar way that other system logs files are rotated - dns, www and mail etc... My question is - do I need to compile a specific syslog collector or will syslog on its own be able to handle these messages? Also how can I reconfigure logrotate to include these log files? Many thanks, apologies if my questions are a little niave!=20 Cheers Ed edward.butler@trinite.co.uk=20 If at first you don't succeed, don't try skydiving -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message has been scanned for viruses by the Trinite' SMTP Firewall.
