Title: Syslog Server
Post by: gpapaiko on October 31, 2005, 11:51:11 AM

To all,

I ahve been using SME for some time now and I am varry happy with it.

Lately I have install some new equipment that require a syslog server on the network to save log files.

Does any one out there know how to configur/install a syslog server on sme 6.x?

Thanks in advance.

There is a syslog server already installed. It is not currently configured to accept messages over the network.

I'm quoting from
http://www.jpsdomain.org/infosec/gnatbox.html#remotelogging
(go to the SME section near the bottom of the page).
This method worked on my 6.0.1

"SME Server configuration
I have not really tested these options, so use with caution!
    * This will log all messages into the syslog "messages" file: edit /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sysconfig/syslog/10NoMARKs and add "-r" to enable listening to the network like so:
      SYSLOG_OPTS="-m 0 -r"
    * Sendmail is not installed, but qmail/smtpfwd are already listening correctly.
    * Logrotate should not be needed, as SME Server already takes care of rotating the messages log."
