My plan is to send the logs of all the servers to a central logging box (FreeBSD), which keeps a local copy of them. I know how to do this, but I want to add something to this. I want that central logging box to send the logs to the serial port to which I have hooked up another box (also FreeBSD) which reads and stores the logs which are being sent to it through the serial port but doesnt send any data back so there is no possibility to get access to that box without being local to it. Can I send the logs by sending them to /dev/sio0 with syslog? And what about the catching, can I let that be done by a logging daemon which sorts it the way I want to. (preferrably a local database but plain files are nice enough too) greets, -- Daan Franke insomnia@dutchnet.org "Everybody is someone else's weirdo" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
