syslog & remote logging

[superstarjpmc]

All:
Query:

I want to log syslog events ( of particular facitly/priority ) to a localhost ( loghost ) and a remote host..

a) how to do this

b) should i make a syslog config change on the remote host to accept syslog events ?

c) can i write to the LOCAL-HOST into /var/adm/messages and in the remote host into /var/adm/remote/messages ?

any help much appreciated.

hi - do we need to start syslog with any special options to enable syslogging ?

user.debug @<my-host> .. i have given this entry in the localhost ..but it doesnt seem to like it.. and its not working..

One thing to watch out for, you must use tabs instead of spaces in syslog.conf. I don't think any special options are required.

I can't see a way that you can filter remote and local messages into separate files.
