    ...seeing you mention logtail I guess you could use tail -f from a
    process outside the chrooted area (i.e a process that even a compromised
    syslogd can't touch) and pipe that through to a secured area on the
    system.

    logtail, part of the logcheck program (now called logsentry, apparently)
    
    does this nicely.  It's licensed under the GPL:

    Personally, I just use logtail to periodically move only the new data
    from 
    one log file to another location.  I'm sure the rest of the suite is
    good, 
    I just only have experience with the logtail piece.
