I need help in setting up shipping logs to a log server, I have looked at the
posting from John Rams from April 2003, but I still
don't understand the statement
" mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
" in my syslog.conf file.
Now can I ship all logs?

Many thanks to Mark Hargrave,Alan Angulo and Jay Lessert. Sorry for late
summary.
Alan mentoned the need to restart /etc/init.d/inetsvc for loghost to take
effect after you change your /etc/hosts. Still not sure if
i have to. But log are being redirected to the loghost.
***************
0) man syslog.conf
Understand the "facility", "level", and "action" parts of syslog.conf
1) Edit /etc/hosts in all machines and add the "loghost" alias.
example: 123.123.123.123 admin-machine loghost
2) Edit /etc/syslog.conf and tell the other 3 machines where to send the
messages.
example: auth.notice ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)
3) HUP the syslog daemon an all machines:
kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid`
********************
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none<tab>@hostname
Where "hostname" is the system you want to receive the messages.
Don't forget to restart the syslogd daemon.
