What we are doing does implement syslog-reliable. Yes, the protocol is open to implementation by anyone. (Note: good luck using the beepcore libs. Memory leaks and other problems...) However, at this time, *our* code is not Open Source. It may become OS, I hope. But there is much more to syslog-reliable than BEEP. Just as one example, consider that with syslog-reliable you may have thousands of long-lived (weeks, years?) TCP connections to a single log host. --tep _______________________________________________ LogAnalysis mailing list LogAnalysisat_private http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis
