Managing logs

[John O'Loughlin]

You can have one machine with syslog accepting remote loging -- 
edit /etc/sysconfg/syslog
with SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"

restart syslog

on other machines add

*.*		@loghost

and restart syslog

these boxes will now send there logs to loghost. you can also then install 
swatch on loghost
