For reliable/"guaranteed" syslog message delivery, you can also use syslog-ng locally on each client machine (We have it running on about 75 devices, mostly Solaris, some FreeBSD) delivering messages over a TCP socket connection as opposed to UDP messages -- A huge benefit. Syslog-ng on the collector machine (FreeBSD 4.4-R, P3/1.2Gig, 256M) is running at 1.1 megs in size, taking up 0.30% CPU, currently logging about 30 messages/second (~3 million / day). jamie -- jamie rishaw <jamieat_private> sr. wan/unix engineer/ninja // playboy enterprises inc.
