    Someone, I think either from bugtraq, or the other firewalls list,
    released code they were working on for a 'secure syslog' protocol for such
    a situation as this.  The work was unfinished, to clarify.  Let me see if
    I can find the links here...hold..:
    
    Yes, from his posting, bugtraq:
    
    I've placed an online archive of the source at
    http://www.w00w00.org/files/SRS and the full, original source is available
    at http://www.w00w00.org/files/SRS.tgz.  This code hasn't been changed in
    over a year, and the original comments, TODOs, READMEs, etc. are all still
    there.
