On Tue, 29 May 2007, grace ingabire spaketh thusly:

-}
-}Hello,
-}
-} 
-}
-}I have installed 
-}and configured  freeBSD 6.1  and have seen the configuration of the syslog in 
-}/usr/src/libexec/bootpd.
-}
-}I would like to 
-}monitor my system using SYSLOG.
-}
-} 
-}
-}How can I go 
-}forward?

Quite a few things are monitored/logged by default.  Check /etc/syslog.conf
for which.  To tweak, "man syslogd" and "man syslog.conf" will give you many
juicy details.
