  Using "unsecure" syslog I can forward all logs to a "logserver"
to analyze it in a real-time (for example, using excellent tool called
'logsurfer').  SDI's audlog allows to *download* logs from any machine 
(which runs ssyslog), using secure protocol, checking if logs are unchanged. 
But it doesn't provide a solution for a real-time analysis on a 
"central machine", the only thing which is possible is to add 
"download logs from all machines every 5 minutes and pipe it to 
logsurfer"-like entry to crontab.. or use unsecure-spoofable-sniffable
UDP logging.

  Didn't check nsyslogd yet -- going to do it right now.

  By the way, if any of us are using logsurfer, probably we can try
to create a database of logsurfers rules for a standard programs
(sendmail, syslogd, kernel messages, and so on). 

Regards,
V.
