    I think you might want to look into msyslog (http://msyslog.sf.net) It 
    allows for signing of logs as they come in, using a key on the local 
    machine.
    
    I'm in the process of figuring out how to configure syslog-ng to pass 
    the syslog entries through openssl to sign the lines before they are 
    written to disk. Watch the mailing list for more information.
