    Announcing SDSC Secure Syslog (Release Candidate)
    
    The Security Technologies group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center
    (SDSC) is pleased to announce the early availability of "SDSC secure
    syslog", a replacement for the standard Linux/UNIX syslog daemon that
    adds security and performance features, while retaining backwards
    compatibility.
    
    We believe it is the first syslog implementation to target
    "syslog-reliable" (RFC 3195) functionality and it is the first syslog
    targeted at very high performance and forensically-sound auditing.
    
    The project home page is at:
    http://security.sdsc.edu/software/sdsc-syslog
    
    Authors of other RFC3195-compliant software, please contact us at
    sdscsyslogat_private, so we can explore inter-operability testing with
    you.
    
    This is a release candidate for version 1.0.
    
    SDSC syslog is intended as a high-performance and high-security
    replacement for "syslog classic".  It is intended for sites with high
    volumes of syslog transactions that also want security and integrity
    features and compatibility with new audit standards.
    
    SDSC syslog is a complete new design incorporating new features and
    capabilities, including:
        *modular
    	*input modules for socket, UDP network connections,
    	    TCP/BEEP, etc.
    	* a message switch to perform log message routing
    	* multiple output modules for UDP, TCP/BEEP, "syslog
            classic" files, structured files
    
        *multi-processing - handles more input syslog steams, provides
            better scalability
        *support for draft standards such as "syslog-reliable" (RFC
            3195, syslog messages over BEEP)
    
    
    This Release Candidate does not yet have complete support for
    RFC 3195, but is fully backwards compatible with "syslog classic"
    using 514/UDP.
    
    Note that this software ***currently*** carries the standard
    University of California copyright statement, permitting free use for
    educational and non-profit activities.  We are exploring a transition
    to an Open Source license, such as the "BSD license".  This requires
    completion of the pending approval of the University of California.
