Redirecting Logs to a Loghost with syslogd
To redirect your computer??™s log files to another computer??™s syslogd, you must make some changes to
your local syslogd??™s configuration file, /etc/syslog.conf. Become root using the su - command
and then load the /etc/syslog.conf file in a text editor (such as vi). You should see something
similar to this:
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don??™t log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* /var/log/maillog
# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron
# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *
# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
