Other options would be rsyslog (which Fedora is using, see > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureRsyslog) or msyslog. It is a dropin replacement with the config that the package delivers in Debian. Of course using syslog-ng means you can take some more advantages compared to the old sysklogd - like automated logrotating. http://ganneff.de/syslog-ng.conf is an (old) config from me for that, which simply keeps logs in a host/year/month/day structure. It also has a nice set of filters and stuff, can do tcp and not only udp, and lots more. It is to be preferred over the sysklogd thing for a long time already. *IMO* JFTR - i dont care if the future default is rsyslog or syslog-ng or yet another one, as long as its better than sysklogd...
