Hello Anyone,
after reading the security page I am thinking of
putting it like it said with one machine doing just the logging. I was wondering what the machine requirements would be for just running the syslogd ?

Alot of hard space I would imagine but would a alot of memory and process be needed ?
I have a p-100 sitting here with two big drives but It doesn't have much memory. 16 megs I think.


also what would happen if the syslog machine was down and the others could not talk to it.
I have two postfix machines and one machine running apahce,mysql,php,phpnuke ?
would they lockup or stop functioning ?

thansk
