You might want to try changing the base system's syslogd(8) for a more feature rich syslog solution. I'd suggest using syslog-ng which is available in the FreeBSD ports as sysutils/syslog-ng2 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/syslog-ng2/pkg-descr It has quite a lot more features then the base system's syslogd(8) as you can see from the online Administrator's Guide http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-admin-guide_en.html/bk01-toc.html Should you like to check out other syslogd replacements, check the Library at http://www.loganalysis.org/ Have fun!
