Hi, hackers: Red Hat's "star" developer, Lennart Poettering, is porting Windows Event Log to GNU/Linux :) https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1IC9yOXj7j6cdLLxWEBAGRL6wl97tFxgjLUEHIX3MSTs&pli=1 Regardless of his stupid arguments, let's talk about something trivial. How about to implement RFC 5848 in our syslogd? It adds the encryption to the existing syslog message layer, and increase the security in transferring. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5848 Albert Mietus made a nice presentation in 2002 http://www.slideshare.net/SoftwareBeterMaken.nl/securing-syslog-on-freebsd Not sure whether his code is accessible or not. -- Zhihao Yuan, nickname lichray The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ___________________________________________________ 4BSD -- http://4bsd.biz/
