Ok, so I've read through the syslog.conf man page and I have a question that is still unsanswered. Using your example: > kernel.* @myhost.com What sort of entry do I need on the remote computer in syslog.conf? Here is why I'm confused. Normally when you specify where certain messages are to be logged you specify the type of message to log, and where it should go on the local machine. But when you send to another machine I'm don't see how the remote machine knows where to put the messages? Here is my one thought for a solution, maybe it is correct. On the local machine you would have this: kernel.* @myhost.com Then on the remote machine myhost.com you would have this: kernel.* /var/log/kernel Is this correct? Does the type of entry carry over to the remote machine? Do I somehow have to specify that some kernal messages are going to be coming from a remote machine and some will be coming from the local machine? Am I being clear as to what I'm confused about?
