I'm late on commenting here (holiday stuff), but if you're actually going to use this, as opposed to merely making the port, you'd be very well advised to go look at nsyslog, which has all the stuff as syslog-ng, I think, plus more. I don't think syslog-ng has any options as to encrypting or signing log entries, it's just got an added grep, right? nsyslog has both features. > > Thanks, > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
