Try man syslog.conf, or read what's already within your /etc/syslog.conf file. You'd just have to set up a rule to send off to another server, and configure that server to listen those requests, of course. We do this very thing for our public boxen so that there's less worry with log tampering, etc. HTH ----- Eric F Crist Secure Computing Networks
