Remarkably little. If there is something that you really need syslogged, you can tail the access log | grep interesting | logger. As you say, there's way too much in a busy server's access log. Another reason not to do this is the access logs will be intertwingled with system messages, confusing httpd log analyzers. I think Roy was asking would the access logs still be sent to the apache log area if you redirect them to syslogd, which I suspect is not the case unless you tee them there. -- Rich Fuchs rbfat_private (*nix systems programmer, Research Libraries Group) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: loganalysis-unsubscribeat_private For additional commands, e-mail: loganalysis-helpat_private
